30. Vulnerability (song)
intro
Just for a day, just let the light in
Don’t have to ask it to stay
Don’t have to let it win
But I just can’t give in
‘cause I’m tied to the melancholy
verse 1
Nobody knows this pain so deep
It’s a secret you promised we’d keep
‘Cause you were the sinner and I was the casualty
It’s okay in the moonlight
pre-chorus
That’s what you said,
so that I believed
Now I can’t shake the images out of me.
Some days stuck in my head,
Sometimes buried beneath
So no one can see.
chorus
You want the truth, well I’ll tell you
It’s been a long 295 days
to search for the remnants of me without you
So many injuries, so many ways
to rethink our story, to rebuild myself
to see you start over with somebody else
to see my heart crumble, to see my bones show
like a long-distant story that I used to know.
verse 2
Can you see past my sweet disguise?
Do you remember how to look in my eyes?
I’m different these days, still the same at night
But I’ll be fine in the morning
pre-chorus
That’s what you said,
so that I believed
Now I can’t shake the images out of me.
Some days stuck in my head,
Sometimes buried beneath
So no one can see.
chorus
You want the truth, well I’ll tell you
It’s been a long 295 days
to search for the remnants of me without you
So many injuries, so many ways
to rethink our story, to rebuild myself
to see you start over with somebody else
to see my heart crumble, to see my bones show
like a long-distant story that I used to know.
bridge
To see my back breaking
to see me lose sleep
to see you grow old with someone who’s not me
To see my feet struggle
to try to be strong
to try to convince me that I do belong
To see me work harder
to see my soul search
to see me forget that I ever had worth
To see my heart strengthen through waves of regret
It’s been almost a year
but I’ll never forget.
chorus
You want the truth, well I’ll tell you
It’s been a long 295 days
To search for the remnants of me without you
So many injuries, so many ways
To rewrite my story, to rebuild myself
to see me grow up into somebody else
to see my lungs breathing, to see me let go
of a long-distant story that I used to know.
outro
Just for a day, just let the light in
Don’t to have to ask it to stay
But I’ve learned to give in
cause strength requires pain
and building up walls doesn’t stop it
