And you're the one
Who scribbled a life-like sun
And you're just what I'd become
And just couldn't wait till the morning

And you'll be
The one who will fall on me
And help me forget to breathe
And leave me like that till the morning

And then you'll come
Like a law-abiding accent
You'll chop away
At everything I've made

And it feels like
Digging at the stone with our hands here
And the smart thing
Would be to drop it all and go home
And the right thing
Is never worth its salt in the first place
And I'd like it
If you find the time to leave me alone

The difference in us
Is that I won't flinch when you cut this off

And it's true
There's scabs on my knuckles too
There's nothing much I can do
They'll scar like the ones before them

And now you've come
To scatter all the ashes
And spread them over
Everything I've made

And it feels like
Digging at the stone with our hands here
And the smart thing
Would be to drop it all and go home
And the right thing
Is never worth its salt in the first place
And I'd like it
If you find the time to leave me alone

The difference in us
Is that I won't flinch when you cut this off
