I’ve heard |
Since I was younger |
That oil and water don’t mix |
They’re polar opposites |
With a molecular rift you can’t fix |
But I swear with all your burnt bridges |
You could leech what’s caustic and find |
A rudimentary lye |
Some kinda miraculous bind |
Oh no, I think I’m not quite ready |
To let you circle the drain |
All the things we’ve broken |
Can be puzzled together again |
All your sums and your pieces |
Are enough to clean up |
All the messes you’ve made |
I think that you’re worth keeping around |
I think you’re worth holding onto |
I’ve heard if I were tougher |
Then maybe I’d make it alive |
I got a tender side |
I’ll need a harder shell to survive |
But if seeing is believing |
I don’t know I’ve seen a thing grow |
Without an open coat |
Not without a softness showing |
I know maybe you’re not quite ready |
To loosen your hold |
On the safety blanket |
You been keeping around your shoulders |
But your sums and your pieces |
Are enough to make you whole |
You gotta let go |
I think that you’re worth keeping around |
I think that you’re worth holding onto |
It’s gonna hurt like hell |
But we’re gonna be well |
I’ll give you my best shot |
