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 |
