i possess a heavy and stubborn heart
it beats so ferociously
that i drown in the love i try to give you

i'm not the sweetest person, baby
i swear i try to be
but i'm too bruised, way too bitter
just like the muscle in my chest
and you make me feel so unwanted
unloved

so i shut down, like my father taught me
my silence is so violent but only because there's a war inside of me
and both sides are losing
i'm dying right in front of you, sweetheart
why won't you save me?
