The Toll It Takes |
There’s a sentence they gave me |
Then one that remains unchanging |
Like skin that’s burnt by frost, it’ll peel if I pull away |
It hurts to hold or let go as I’m trying to sustain |
Like feeling hunger pangs and eating bone to stay alive |
It tears me apart inside‚ but it seems like the better way to get by |
Like a broken hourglass‚ they fell |
Cutting sand through my fingers down the deepest well |
I know the toll it takes‚ but I won’t let you go |
The past I can’t replace is all that you’ll ever know |
There is no turning back, I can’t fix what I broke |
The past I can’t replace is all that you’ll ever know |
You’re a part of me that I may never be able to repair |
Like a lung that’s collapsed, I’ll always know that you’re still there |
Always surrounding my heart even if it rejects air |
I know the toll it takes‚ but I won’t let you go |
The past I can’t replace is all that you’ll ever know |
There is no turning back, I can’t fix what I broke |
The past I can’t replace is all that you’ll ever know |
The true sentence I still face is one I brought upon myself |
Lost in a dark cell |
They said it’s easiest just to numb yourself and let go |
But these open wounds will forever feel fresh |
And I refuse to let them close yet |
I know the toll it takes, but I won’t let you go |
The past I can’t replace is all that you’ll ever know |
There is no turning back‚ I can’t fix what I broke |
The past I can’t replace is all that you’ll ever know |
I know the toll it takes, but I won’t let you go |
