Eggshells from No Place by Danielle Durack

Patient I am patient I am waiting for you dear
I am counting up the moments spent until I have you here
and I am hoping I am wishing I am praying to my god
That when I finally have you here that it’s still something that I want

Cuz I am tired of fighting
of holding what’s inside me
it’s alrights and I’m so sorrys
yeah the cycle’s never ending

And I can’t fight the feeling
That we are slowly sinking
that our worlds are growing distant
It’s getting hard for me to live in

No I don’t want to hurt you
want to leave you
but I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
of these eggshells that we’re walking
this ain’t living
but it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change anyway

Reckless I am reckless I’m just stupid for you babe
I am lucid when you’re gone and when you’re not it’s all a dream
I get soft and I get easy I get lost inside your eyes
It’s some sick kind of magic I forgive you every time

But I am tired of charming
always getting what you want
the crumbs of your heart they don’t sustain me
it’s just enough to keep me waiting
and I can’t fight the feeling
we’re a bomb that’s always ticking
a single nudge could fucking end it
I’m so sick of being cautious

No I don’t want to hurt you
want to leave you
but I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
of these eggshells that we’re walking
this ain’t living
but it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change anyway

No it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change
but you’re gonna watch me walk away
no you don’t know how to make me stay

It’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change
oh you’re gonna watch me walk away
oh you’re gonna watch me walk away

Cuz I am tired of caring
bout your feelings when you spare none
don’t want your love if it’s not consistent
never knowing where we’re standing
and I can’t fight the feeling that we are slowly dying
like those flowers you always bought me
all those insincere apologies

No I don’t want to hurt you
want to leave you
but I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
of these eggshells that we’re walking
this ain’t living
but it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change anyway
