I sold my soul to gain an inch from your woven hands
but I'm starting to realize
That you'll still feel this way
but I'm not gonna change
This phone call has gone the wrong direction
It's all just misperception
and I hope that we can find our way out of this one
I tried so hard but words came out of my mouth so slowly now
and baby girl if you just listen to the way we explain and justify
Where were the ones
that I needed the most?
Were they batting their lashes
at shadows and ghosts?
My patience is stretched thin,
like unaged skin
Dream of better times
when my time meant something
I tried so hard but words came out of my mouth so slowly now
and baby girl if you just listen to the way we explain and justify
My bones they creak, and my heart is weak
from the days we spent on fire
I'm not alone
I'm just flesh and bone
My bones they creak
yeah my bones they creak
My bones they creak, and my heart is weak
