Ribcage

I'm the snowflake
Tapping on your window
When it's cold

Melt me in your arms
Unlock my ribcage
Free my soul

Not to propose
You save me, dear
But I'm slowly drowning deeply
In the gallons of my fear

And though I know
You wanna wait for me
I fear that it's already still
Too late for me

And I can't have you now
I wish I knew how to love you
In case I wanted to
But maybe it's just too late
To unlock my ribcage

I'm a saltwater slug
Nothing burns me
Deep enough

Still I can't stand
A second in the downpour
Of your love

I could compose
A sweeter song
An attempt to convince myself
There's nothing wrong

But all my chords
Take a bitter turn
And before I cross the bridge
Here the melody comes to burn me

I can't have you now
I wish I knew how to love you
Just in case I wanted to
But maybe it's just too late
To unlock my ribcage

I'm melting inside
Where can the river of my heart go
Once you melt my inner snow
I'm so scared
Maybe it's too late to unlock my ribcage
Maybe it's too late to unlock my ribcage

You'll never know where I go
When I sleepwalk
Even I only start to get a sense
As I wake up
I'm sure I could have loved you
If you only broke me down enough
But here's the deal

My dear
If I'm not whole
Should I even have your love?

It's not to say that you won't
Ever be enough
But just know, my heart is frozen
Even when it has your love
