[Verse 1]
Now you know why I call you home
With your arms wrapped around me
Slip and fall in the abyss
But you catch me
Thought I died a thousand times
But I'm standing
But I’m standing
And you know I'm getting old
As my bones start to buckle
Tried to run but I can't move
So I stumble
It was hard to let you in
But I still did
But I still did

[Bridge]
And you made it safe
And you made it safe for me to breathe
Made it safe
Made it safe

[Verse 2]
It’s hard to clean my oozing wounds
It's hard to feel like I'm deserving of the love I get from you
It's hard to sleep under this moon
Because I only have nightmares
And they're all about losing you
"Trust me"
You say, "Just trust me"
But it's been centuries and I can't stop the bleeding
But you say, "Oh, please"
"Open your heart to me"
But I've been armored for so long
A glance would kill me
I can’t show myself
Because my spirit is frail
And I can’t even trust my instincts 'cause they’re broken as well
So, I'll show no one else
What's inside of my shell
It's been so long that I’ve forgotten who I really am

[Outro]
Wish I could be a marionette
Someone else use me, and empty my hands
I'm scared to look within and see who I am
What if I hate it?
What am I to do then?
