[Verse 1]:
All along I felt the fire below
But I kept my feet from, touching the burning coals
Like a deer caught in the light of her face, I never knew what hit me till it was too late
So take a bite my guard is down, while I let you turn the things I said around
if lips were a megaphone of pain, well darling don't you have something to say?
[Verse 2]:
Moving hands won't make up for the silence seeping through the cold air in the room
And the stories you tell of some other hands you held in a town where no one ever goes
So take a bite, my guard is down
It won't take much to break my heart now
Tried to pull you close, but your love ran far
All you ever wanted was to hear me say, how pretty you are
[Chorus 1]:
Either
Breathe me completely or not at all
Know the things I love, or believe I have none
You're not the only one who was
trying to find their face
Darling there's an art to hurting alone, all I am is a ghost at
[Verse 3]:
Cause all along I held the icy hands
Of a carnal feeling, leading me into the woods
And they laugh, around a wooden crutch of beer and wine and while she gives me a dark look
Take all you want, my body's tied
to a chair while you whip what's left of my mind
Oh your mouth is a megaphone of pain,
well darling now I have something to say
[Chorus 2]:
You never loved me completely, no not at all
Counted the beats of my heart, only to let me bleed out in the dark
You're not the only one who's trying to find their face
Darling there's an art to hurting alone, all I am is a ghost at your table
