lyrics

You love to watch them slip through your fingers
Like crushing flowers in your hands
Watch the petals fall away
Watching them walk away
You’ve always been something you don’t understand

And I know that your feelings
Are like a language you keep speaking
But you can’t hear the words

And I know you’ve never felt grown in your body
A heartbroken child endlessly wandering
When you look at yourself, what do you see?

Cause this world is fleeting
And this life moves fast
If there’s one thing you learn
It’s that not all towers were built to last

You’re certain that it’s rotten work to love you
Forgotten flowers pressed in pages
Drying in the seams
Do you still think you can be saved?
Or are you so in love with your pain?

I know that you wanna be screaming
It feels like you’re falling when you should be dreaming
Will you ever just let it all go?

I know your heart’s always breaking
Feels like your chest is constantly caving
When you breathe in, do you hold your breath?

Cause this world is fleeting
And this life moves fast
If there’s one thing for sure
What will come will always pass

I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy to hold
I know this heart is too heavy
