Lyrics

Before you I never knew
that I needed to come with a warning label. . .
But here we are we haven't gone too far
but you're telling me that you're scared of my heart

(chorus)
My body is a constellation
of potential threats
Everywhere you look there's a goddam bomb
from my skin to somewhere deep within

You held me as though lost at sea
and desperately trying not to drown. . .
But you're caged in stone and my hollow bones
can't carry us above the waves

chorus

I wish for you to walk through my door
and remind me how it feels to be warm. . .
But you're miles away and you tried to say
that you didn't want to have me that way

Kiss me one more time
so I know that it's goodbye
I thought we could be forever
I know that it's naive

All you see are troubles that could be
if my heart sinks like stone

chorus
