Ambulance (Live)

The person in the mirror
Is the one you've come to fear
Feel the sting
Smothered by too much of a good thing

But it takes more than a bandage to fix you up
Bleed a slow death of a thousand cuts
No ambulance is fast enough in emergencies
Snip the strings that keep your mouth sewed shut
The truth begins to show when you try your luck
Give me a sign or something beautiful to see

I love you more than you can love yourself
If you don't think you want it, put it on the shelf
I love you more than you could love yourself alone

I love you more than I will ever show
If you don't think you need it, I won't let you know
I love you more than you can love yourself and more

So where's the invite to the funeral
I hear you breathing steady but you lost your soul
Your skin and bones are held together by broken tethers
I'll bring you back as a hologram
It's just as sentimental as a photograph
I couldn't stand to live a life like that forever

I love you more than you can love yourself
If you don't think you want it, put it on the shelf
I love you more than you could love yourself alone

I love you more than I will ever show
If you don't think you need it, I won't let you know
I love you more than you can love yourself and more

You sink in water that's not so shallow
You're far too old to run from your shadow
You've become a person you abhor
And you'll never catch good moments when they creep out the door
You're clenching onto the past, it's time to loosen your grip
It's doing you no good when you romanticize it
I cannot wake you up, I cannot change your fate
You were so full of joy so who took your place

I love you more than you can love yourself
If you don't think you want it, put it on the shelf
I love you more than you could love yourself alone

I love you more than I will ever show
If you don't think you need it, I won't let you know
I love you more than you can love yourself and more

I love you more than you can love yourself
You're holding it together as someone else
I love you more than you could ever tell yourself
