Sorting through the things you never threw away
I came alone, they were all too scared to show their face
Never getting better, I don't remember it being good
Save for two weeks after you told me it would

It must be hard to live in your own skin
But it's easy to keep you away
Can't break the wheel if you're not gonna shoulder
The weight of the things that you say

I tried to force my way in when you locked me out
You were turning down the volume when it got too loud
It only comes out how you see it, I tried to work from memory
I hate you and I love you equally

It always follows beneath the water
And it won't ever let me relax
If I can't see you why even bother
With the weight of the love that I lack

I am tripping up the stairs
And crying in the bathroom
I am overwhelmed by every
Tripwire left around you
I am praying you cut us loose and
Left me where they found you

It must be hard to live in your own skin
Might be harder to keep you away
Can't break the wheel if you're not gonna shoulder
The weight of the things that you say
It always follows beneath the water
And I barely can keep it at bay
It's hard to see why you'd even bother
For so long with the things that I say

Neither of us ever see that room again
But I think I'll smell you smoking when the fan kicks in
I dreamt last night we met our eyes with laughter choked and hushed
An inside joke between the two of us
