I'm bound up and broken
Caught out in the open
Tape over my mouth
With so much left unsaid
Like gathering thunder
We spoke over each other
Now strangers tied to opposite sides of the bed
You told me I'm careless
Unkind and defensive
When all I want is someone there to hold me close
I don't mean to be heartless
I'm trying my hardest to think before I speak
But I'm voiceless
I'll bide my time
Watch the hurricane blow by and the clouds run dry
I'll bite my tongue
And hold on 'til my hands go numb or the quiet comes
♪
Soaked through to my skin but I don't feel any different
I'm a shivering mess of doubt and recklessness
I know it's my fault I'm stuck out here in the cold
But it's hard letting go of what I wish you'd said
'Cause you told me I'm careless
Unkind and defensive
When all I want is someone there to hold me close
I'll bide my time
Watch the hurricane blow by and the clouds run dry
I'll bite my tongue
And hold on 'til my hands go numb or the quiet comes
Don't tell me I'm broken (As I'm blowing out to sea)
Don't leave me high and dry (It's swirling over me)
As I spin in slow motion (A tide of chattering teeth)
Unravel and unwind
♪
White-knuckled
Nails torn from grasping the boards as the storm rages inside of me
Opened my mouth
Tried to force something out
But I'm just too exhausted to speak
♪
I'll bide my time
Watch the hurricane blow by and the clouds run dry

I'll bide my time
Watch the hurricane blow by and the clouds run dry
I'll bite my tongue
And hold on 'til my hands go numb or the quiet comes
