Lyrics
I suppose we are born from our silence
But you seem to take yours with you
You treat all of your love as defiance
Like a child who refuses to bloom
You forced me to face all of your beauty
That turned your beauty away from yourself
All this road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here
But doesn't seem to go anywhere else
And your heart rests in your chest like a charm 'round your neck
That you couldn't find words to refuse
And this high horse you ride it is broken in stride
As it leads us through worlds built for you
So walk with me a little bit further
So I can find the tenderness you keep inside
God made you with a taste for the madness in love
But you confuse your gift with your pride
And I can't help you with removing that bandage
I will leave you to yourself while you heal
As I'm learning time is a language
And it's the best way to explain how I feel
And while the magician you meet sweeps you off your feet
Say he'll teach you his tricks all for free
I'll be in the way that you laugh
As he cuts you in half and holds you up for the crowds all to see
So forgive me for feeling so strongly
But I feel like we can finally agree
That true lovers always end up lonely
'Cause they know how good it could be
I've heard the men in your wake describe you as a snake
As you slip away when they start to welt
But I firmly believe you're a lot more like Eve
As she enjoys a bit of her guilt
