Let Me Tell You What I'm Thinking

I'm only a bag of bones
Inside this skin I call my home
I think this body is my own
But I don't know if I'm alone
I tried to mention it
You cut me off so I sealed my lips
But then they wouldn't come unzipped
Now I memorize a script

I will turn you into art
'Cause you are, you are
I can mend that broken heart
If you want, you want
I will be just what you gain
I will I will
We're not too old to start again
'Cause you're the one that got away

I got out all I had to say
So why do I still feel the same
You want me to say I'm okay so we won't deal with the decay
But you were someone's holy grail
And even you know you are frail
So I'm sure if we did prevail that train was bound to be derailed

But you don't recognize
None of these problems are problems in the way that you comprised
And there's pride in a demise
When it all washes away it's just like you fantasized
But you said
You're only smoking your cigarettes to fill your chest
And soak your throat with something that makes you choke
And you'll grow, and you will find you're not left behind
You're intertwined with someone that makes you choke
Just like that smoke
But how do you cope
How do you cope

I will turn you into art
'Cause you are, you are
But I can't mend that broken heart
I can't, I can't
I won't be just what you gain
I won't, I won't
We're not too old to start again
But you're the one that got away

I will turn you into art
'Cause you are, you are
I can mend that broken heart
If you want, you want
I will be just what you gain
I will I will
We're not too old to start again
'Cause you're the one that got away
Can these clocks all turn us back
They won't, they won't
We'll make our way onto the track
We can't, we can't
Is there any space to breathe
It seems, it seems
Preserve what's left of you and me
'Cause you're the one that got away
