My new love.

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

But all that I know is I'm breathing

All I can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb

I want to shut out all the lights in this room

I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink

Scrub away all these thoughts that i think of you

So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil

Feel like i watch from 6 feet under the soil

Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears

But i re count the countless tears that i lost for you

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -

Starting now I'll never know your name

Starting now I'll never feel the same

Starting now I wish you never came into my world.

If you were falling,

then I would catch you.

You need a light,

I'd find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.

And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly,

here take my sweater.

Your head is aching,

I'll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.

And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.

Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.

And you take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

The different shades of blue in a bright red <3.
