lyrics

Ugly weeks of eyes opened wide, taking in
All I need to scramble up my mind, and now
It’s fleeting fickle feelings and flat lines
Enough to think that maybe I have lost love this time

But I still want to want you

So be my only hope to save this
Bigger than what I can’t make it
I’m not there, but here I’ll say
This heart is hard but you can break it

Little things and trifles of belief, cover me
Messing with these notions of my need, till I’m
Leathered skin from sun scorched summer heat
I try to shed but winter comes to freeze me underneath

But you have said I’m worth it

So be my only hope to save this
Bigger than what I can’t make it
I’m not there, but here I’ll say
This heart is hard but you can break it
Overwhelm these walls I can’t take down
Wreck this maze I can’t find my way out
Take me there until I can say
This heart is hard but you can break it

Cuz I still want to want you
