lyrics

one thing i know and i've known from the start
you watered these florets that grew from my heart
and when it came time to harvest your crop
you looked in disgust at what you had got
you left them to die and then you forgot

so what do i do with these graves in my chest?
i want to lie down but i’m too heavy to rest
it’s easy to sit here and blame it on you
but i opened my ribs for the love that we grew
i pulled back my bones and you cracked the rest through

you peeled off each layer of armor i kept
laid in your arms, you made space and i wept
my rattling bones found strength in this nest
until you spit in my face and you laughed, then you left
my vines now sit broken, untethered, unkempt

so what do i do with these graves in my chest?
i want to lie down but i’m too heavy to rest
it’s easy to sit here and blame it on you
but i opened my ribs for the love that we grew
i pulled back my bones and you cracked the rest through

you turned me to pulp just because i loved you
