Tell Me Again

I gave you my words and I fed you my heart
But you only took seconds to rip it apart
You're still walking away while it falls to the ground
'Cause a broken heart likes to float its way down

I can't empty my mind, you're engraved in my head
I can't empty my mouth, so I'll wash it instead
Feel the burn down my throat, but it's not what you think
Unlike them, I don't drown out my pain with a drink

I won't shed a tear for someone who tore me from myself
But I'll close my eyes and hope and dream you'll come back as somebody else
I shredded my wings to help you run free
Collapsed my own lungs to help you to breathe
But at the end of the day, I wasn't enough to be

So tell me again how you promised to stay
Sacrifice my own health to make sure you're okay
Soon as I turn my back, you've run into their arms
Guess the look in my eyes meant tear me apart

And tell me again you don't want me around
And I'll gather my pieces with pride off the ground
I'll wring out my heart, bitter words off my tongue
You're nothing but poison that strung me along

I've stained my cheeks too many times for you
And wasted my breath for you to run off with somebody new
Red down my sleeves, I've spilled my life on the carpet again
I'll live to see another day, pull myself back from the edge
