lyrics

I remember when I realized

I don’t like my personality

And you said “That’s alright. To be honest,

I’ve never liked my family”



I remember driving out at midnight

Trying to find something new

I remember your smile

I just don’t remember how it belonged to you



I remember all the words you wrote

In the palms of your hands

And when the ink washed away, how you’d always say

“They were never meant, to last forever”



You said “if times are tough, we’ll be tougher.

We have to be”

And “Yeah, your body’s a temple and understand, it was built for me.”



Thought I saw myself in you

I hope that I was wrong



You had a problematic habit of flying too close to the sun

I remember nights I spend terrified we were all gonna burn

Too close to the fire with such a desire to feel the heat

Yeah, we loved like a drum but always ended up off beat



You found beauty in sadness, thought I was the prettiest you’d ever seen

And with such a small heart, you supposed you could make room for me

But I wasn’t okay, we weren’t okay, you know

Yeah you might hear the rain, but it gets awfully quiet when it snows



Thought I saw myself in you

God, I hope that I was wrong



There’s this scar I still have on the side of my thigh

Might not be pretty, but reminds me I’ll be fine



That if times are tough, I’ll be tougher

I’ll have to be

Yeah, my body’s a temple,

It was build for me
