| Burst, and I’m awake
|
| Now not straight from these woods we had known
|
| And in the dark they gathered there
|
| With ropes woven from strands of your hair
|
| And like these kings that came before
|
| I fell asleep on this strange forest floor
|
| And they would spirit you away
|
| And in the dances you gave up your throne
|
| You’re breaking your back to be alone
|
| Refusing this kindness you were shown
|
| It doesn’t mean anything anyway
|
| It doesn’t mean
|
| Beneath this canopy of trees
|
| I wrap my arms around my knees
|
| And rocking gently back to sleep
|
| As I collapse into the deep
|
| With these words that we exchange
|
| This isn’t finished
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| Exhausted and estranged
|
| Testing your limits
|
| This isn’t fair, I didn’t know
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| And it’s a risk, but I resist
|
| Now it’s my wish that you will
|
| Somehow
|
| And you have everything you need
|
| With this compass and map you ignore
|
| You can’t make yourself believe
|
| Discontent but you still wanted more
|
| And at the swollen riverbank
|
| You tried to cross
|
| But you sank like a stone
|
| You’re breaking your back to be alone
|
| Refusing this kindness you were shown
|
| It doesn’t mean anything anyway
|
| It doesn’t mean
|
| Beneath this canopy of trees
|
| I wrap my arms around my knees
|
| And rocking gently back to sleep
|
| As I collapse into the deep
|
| With these words that we exchange
|
| This isn’t finished
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| Exhausted and estranged
|
| Testing your limits
|
| This isn’t fair, I didn’t know
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| And from the moment you arrived
|
| You had seemed so frustrated
|
| You had tried to leave this all behind to me
|
| And like a fool you had traded
|
| They motion you inside to sleep
|
| From such a steep and narrow climb
|
| These arrows at your feet were signs
|
| And I could feel you frustrated
|
| With these words that we exchange
|
| This isn’t finished
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| Exhausted and estranged
|
| Testing your limits
|
| This isn’t fair, I didn’t know
|
| I couldn’t bare to let you go
|
| A burst, and I’m awake now
|
| And now straight from these woods
|
| We had known |
