I've cried like a child In the arms of a storm Whose feet can't pretend to be brave any more Days under sheets, and smoke under skies And rooms lit to burn down our lives As we break this, one day at a time I will crawl on my hands And collapse at the sea And I'll scream to the water "you have mended me" All that I want And all that I need Is to fall just as fast as I please With no one to cry over me I have bled like a soldier In the books that they showed us When they told us that no one is safe And I've pleaded with God Saying "don't you be long I don't know how much more I can take." And all the good people Who think that they know The story in full Well, nobody knows Just me and the moon and these lies that I've told I think I've got them sold I will crawl on my hands And collapse at the sea And I'll scream to the water "you have mended me" All that I want I think all that I need Is to fall just as fast as I please With no one to cry over me The hearts that I've wrecked 'cause I stay out too late And then hide in my shame 'til their eyes start to break Through the walls of my chest And this bed that I've made I spoil the things that I've saved And I'll sleep till I dream them away I will crawl on my hands And collapse at the sea And I'll scream to the water "you have mended me" All that I want I think all that I need Is to fall just as fast as I please With no one to cry over me With no one to cry over me
