lyrics

I can't wait for more
And I can't be your safe harbor when it storms
I need more

This isn't working anymore
And the fire we built won't light the way, or keep me warm
I deserve more

I deserve more

This thing is dying now, so dig a hole
And I'm not lying, but I'm not whole, pieces of me that you stole

I deserve more

But I made my grave and I'll lie in it
But I'd meant to say that I'd like it if
We could turn back the clock
To when I loved you and you weren't so cold

This isn't working anymore
And the fire you built won't keep me warm
And the winds picked up, and my bones feel so frail and old

So now I'm numbed by drugs and laptop screens
And it's just as lonely as it seems
And I'm not lying
But I'm not whole
