And We’re Coming Undone

With my heart on my sleeve and we’re coming undone
And I’m opening my eyes and staring at the sun,
Trying to remember the kind of person I wanted to be
Before we started, before I broke, I just wanted to be me.

With my eyes closed tight, words on the tip of my tongue
And broken promises all around me while I’m coming undone.
I don’t want to be the kind of girl that I hate,
And I don’t want to be the kind of person with nothing at stake.

With my heart on my sleeve and we’re coming apart
And we’re drowning on dry land and breaking our hearts,
We close our eyes and spin around and don’t look down
Because we’ll stop if we do and drop to the ground.

With the world falling apart and I take nothing to heart
Because there’s something and I don’t know where to start.
But something changed and people never stay the same
And I open my eyes and wonder if it was all just a game.

With my arms open wide and you’re never here
And I’m feeling empty standing all alone here.
Because a world is fragile and it can easily break
And the world is a world full of love or full of hate.
