[Verse 1]


So scared of b

reaking it
             
That you won't

        
 let it bend
    
And I wrote tw

o hundred lett

ers
             
I will never s


end
             
Sometimes thes

              
e cuts are so 

             
much deeper th

        
an they seem

You'd rather c

over up
             
I'd rather let

      
 them bleed
    
So let me be
         
And I'll set y

ou free (Oh ye

ah)


[Chorus]

         
I   am in mise

 
ry
          
There ain't no

             
body who can c

       
omfort me (Oh 

yeah)
          
Why won't you 

        
answer me?
            
The silence is

           
 slowly killin

  
g me (Oh yeah)

            
Girl, you real

   
ly got me bad
             
You really got

    
 me bad
            
I'm gonna get 

 
you back
             
I'm gonna get 

 
you back


[Verse 2]


Your salty ski

n and how
             
It mixes in wi

   
th mine
    
The way it fee

ls to be
             
Completely int

  
ertwined


Not that I did

n't care

It's that I di

dn't know

It's not what 

I didn't feel,

It's what I di

So let me be
          
And I'll set y

ou free
