Intro

Picked)

I suppose we are born from our silence

But you seem to take yours with you

you treat all of your love as defiance

Like a child that refuses to bloom

You forced me to face all of your beauty

Then turned your beauty away from yourself

This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here

But doesn't seem to go anywhere else

And your heart rests in your chest

Like a charm 'round your neck

That you couldn't find words to refuse

And this high horse you ride

It has broken its stride

As it leads us through worlds built for you

So walk with me a little bit further

So I can find the tenderness you keep inside

God made you with a taste for the madness in love

But you confuse your gift with your pride

And I can't help you with removed that bandage

I will leave you all to yourself while you heal

As I'm learning time is a language

And it's the best way to explain how I feel

And while the magician you meet

Sweeps you off your feet

Saying he'll teach you tricks all for free

I'll be in the way that you laugh

As he cuts you in half

And holds you up for the crowds all to see

So forgive me for feeling so strongly

But I feel like we can finally agree

That true lovers always end up lonely

Cause they know how good it could be

I've heard the men in your wake

Describe you as a snake

As you slip away when they start to wilt

But I firmly believe

You're a lot more like Eve

As she enjoys a bit of her guilt
