lyrics

toes, teeth and tongue
The things I gave you when I was too young
You told me that you were mine
I told you I was yours
We told each other too many things

I swelled inside
But then you punctured me and you tried
To tell me that you were done
I told you I was fun
You said, no, you’re so many things

How can I go on without you (x3)
How can I go on
I guess I’ll just have to

We were girls with simple names
I was a wildfire to your quiet flame
But I could see in your irises
The kindest, the quietest of fears
That I’d burn you up

I found you braiding her hair
She was a pond with the calmest of stares
You told me she just made sense to you
But the difference was
Your tongue always tripped on her name

I hope you hold vigil for me on her shores
I hope my name floats from your tongue at her door
Oh I hope that she drowns ‘til you can’t burn no more
I hope you hold vigil
For what I’m not sure

I’m haggard ember and ash
Longing for a love that has long since passed
Maybe I’ll learn something new
For something to do
Instead of wasting my days in the dust

I think I’ve forgiven you
Who could blame you for falling for a beauty in blue
But I can’t pretend anymore
Not to know what I’m for
I have to burn and burn
I must

Bring me your kindling
I’ll give you a show
I may be tired but there’s one thing I know
That fire is fire and it’s charred me to the bone
But it’s my mine, yes it’s mine
Always mine, always mine
Yes it’s mine, yes it’s mine
Always mine, always mine
Yes it’s mine, yes it’s mine
Always mine
and mine alone
