We're still holding back
Lashed out and attacked
We buried the hatchet
By plunging it deep in our backs
The baggage is packed
Light shines through the cracks
We buried the hatchet
By plunging it deep in our backs
We took a chance and we wondered if we loved ourselves
I chose your heart over oxygen
We'll take a breath and we'll wait until
We're suffocating
Our love left constantly waiting
And now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced
We've been here before
Holding our hope for something more
The damage was done
We loaded our guns
With trauma and wounding
That left us stunned
And we bled out together
We dragged ourselves deeper
Then acted as anchors
Short roped, kept us under
With no air left to breath in
We lashed out at each other
We clung onto the dream tight
And we drowned one another
We took a chance and we wondered if we loved ourselves
I chose your heart over oxygen
We'll take a breath and we'll wait until
Something gets better
Keep every letter
Never stop writing
(Now that we both know)
It's all in the timing
(We both know)
If staying means dying
We both know
We're suffocating (our love)
Our love left constantly waiting
And now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced
We've been here before
Holding our hope for something more
We're suffocating (our love)
Our love left constantly waiting
And now we're dragging up the past
We burned out and we crashed
We buried the hatchet
By plunging it deep in our backs
Carry hope
I'll bear it as a torch
A lighthouse guiding us to shore
Maybe we'll see each other
On the other side
