[Bridge]
              
While you were

              
 out building 

              
other worlds, 

  
where was I?
              
Where's that m

              
an who'd throw

              
 blankets over

     
 my barbed wir

e?
              
I made you my 

              
temple, my mur

       
al, my sky
              
Now I'm beggin

              
g for footnote

     
s in the story

 of your life
              
Drawing hearts

           
 in the byline
              
Always taking 

              
up too much sp

        
ace or time
              
You assume I'm

              
 fine, but wha

             
t would you do

 if I


[Chorus]
             
  Break free a

              
nd leave us in

  
 ruins

  Took this dagger in me and removed it
             
  Gain the wei

              
ght of you the

   
n lose it
              
  Believe me, 

         
I could do it
              
  If it's all 

              
in my head tel

     
l me now
              
  Tell me I've

              
 got it wrong 

 
somehow
              
  I know my lo

              
ve should be c

  
elebrated
              
  But you tole

 
rate it
