The Shell
Rose Cousins
What is it you want from me
Is there something that I can't see
All my words are broken on the ground
It gets so hard to talk to you
You're covered in this shell you grew
It's like you do and don't want me around
You stand by a castle moat
Reading everything I wrote
Looking for the sharks to pull you in
I sit on the banks and call
Reading how to kill them all
Looking for the way to talk you down
Maybe it'd be easier
If you felt the same for her
Then your heart could rest and want no more
I want someone to hold me near
And it will not be you my dear
Do you think you can ever let me go
It gets so hard to talk to you
You're covered in this shell you grew
It's like you do and don't want me around
