Jake Jones - Hatchet lyrics

[Verse 1] You set my world on fire, it's time to run away Through the soil you torched to the horizon My hopes and dreams they died, but now I'm justified I won't drag your weight any longer [Pre-Chorus] Cut me loose I'm trying to let go of everything You've tied my noose But now your rope's unraveling [Chorus] It's hard to breathe with your hands around my neck Around my neck, you're k**ing me It's hard to know when you're behind me It's hard to bury this hatchet when it's in my back [Verse 2] You left my spirit torn, tired, and all alone My heart is frozen, colder than frostbite I've gathered every stone that you have ever thrown Used them to build my road while you sink under [Pre-Chorus] Cut me loose I'm trying to let go of everything You've tied my noose But now your rope's unraveling [Chorus] It's hard to breathe with your hands around my neck Around my neck, you're k**ing me It's hard to know when you're behind me It's hard to bury this hatchet when it's in my back You raised your walls so you could hide your past Made them out of gla** and they're shattering It's hard to bury this hatchet when it's in my back It's in my back, hatchet in my back [Bridge] Look me in the eyes The only one prepared to die The damage is already done You best get your hatchet This battle has just begun [Chorus] It's hard to breathe with your hands around my neck Around my neck, you're k**ing me It's hard to know when you're behind me It's hard to bury this hatchet when it's in my back [Outro] It's hard to breathe With your hands around me, hand around me It's hard to know You're always behind me
