Bones and the Marrow

lyrics

don't disappoint me
i cannot take one more foolish game
please, don't say you're sorry
for i am partially to blame
drifting on a fantasy
rocking along in the waves
like we've always done it
this foolish heart knows what it craves

and oh, to let you in
will i ever do that again?

break my heart until it sparkles
tiny bits glittering with sorrow
the bones and the marrow
as we beg, steal, and borrow
for the love we're so deserving
reaching out is so unnerving
and alone is so easy
no one can ever really see me then

Heart like a museum
dusty portraits on the walls
hallway full of mirrors each vision turns away and falls

and oh, to let you in
will i ever do that again?

break my heart until it sparkles
tiny bits glittering with sorrow
the bones and the marrow
as we beg, steal, and borrow
for the love we're so deserving
reaching out is so unnerving
and alone is so easy
no one can ever really see me then
