mea culpa
Every inch I give, ten feet you take
Every word I say, ten commentaries
Don't look at me
But hear me when I say
This wounded body is not a thing with which you can play
I will have my peace
I will fill this space
This weight is not massive
This story is not tragic
I'll write my name in stars
And yours is for the ashes
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes
Eyes as old as time gazing at my face
How can I redeem this spy inside me?
What business have you inside my head?
I went out of my way to not invite you in
I will have my peace
I will fill this space
This weight is not massive
This story is not tragic
I'll write my name in stars
And yours is for the ashes
I won't make myself small for you
I won't make myself small for you
Won't crush my dreams so yours come true
Won't crush my dreams so yours come true
This weight is not massive
This story is not tragic
I'll write my name in stars
And yours is for the ashes
Every word I say, ten commentaries
Don't look at me
But hear me when I say
This wounded body is not a thing with which you can play
I will have my peace
I will fill this space
This weight is not massive
This story is not tragic
I'll write my name in stars
And yours is for the ashes
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes
Eyes as old as time gazing at my face
How can I redeem this spy inside me?
What business have you inside my head?
I went out of my way to not invite you in
I will have my peace
I will fill this space
This weight is not massive
This story is not tragic
I'll write my name in stars
And yours is for the ashes
I won't make myself small for you
I won't make myself small for you
Won't crush my dreams so yours come true
Won't crush my dreams so yours come true
This weight is not massive
This story is not tragic
I'll write my name in stars
And yours is for the ashes
