Counterparts - You're Not You Anymore lyrics
[Counterparts - You're Not You Anymore lyrics]
A garden grew between us
In the love we lived without
Remaining faithful to the flood
Our tears have purpose in a drought
Tread lightly
So footprints can't disturb the
Bed we've made
With restlessness reserved for both
The bodies it contains
Aim your sharpest arrow at the
Center of my chest a memorial to signify the
Sense of helplessness
We dare not mourn our past lives
Our loss will be reborn
Because I couldn't love who you were
But, you're not you anymore
Sew your skeleton to mine
I'm no good on my own
Stitch yourself to either side of me
So I will never be alone
We mend our past mistakes
As a symbol that we've grown
So we no longer place our weight
On top of broken bones
Mark an end to aimless roaming
With a double-sided knife
If we develop eyes for others
May we both be stripped of sight
Liken our divide to partitions in the earth
Wrapped in walls of vines
Growing out of common ground
A garden grew between us
Our tears have purpose in a drought
Sew your skeleton to mine
I'm no good on my own
Stitch yourself to either side of me
So I will never be alone
We mend our past mistakes
As a symbol that we've grown
So we no longer place our weight
On top of broken bones
Mark an end to aimless roaming
With a double-sided knife
Taking steps towards each other
We could end both our lives
And that'd be fine
Aim your sharpest arrow at the
Center of my chest a memorial to signify the
Sense of helplessness
We dare not mourn our past lives
Though our loss will be reborn
I couldn't love who you were
But, you're not you anymore
In the love we lived without
Remaining faithful to the flood
Our tears have purpose in a drought
Tread lightly
So footprints can't disturb the
Bed we've made
With restlessness reserved for both
The bodies it contains
Aim your sharpest arrow at the
Center of my chest a memorial to signify the
Sense of helplessness
We dare not mourn our past lives
Our loss will be reborn
Because I couldn't love who you were
But, you're not you anymore
Sew your skeleton to mine
I'm no good on my own
Stitch yourself to either side of me
So I will never be alone
We mend our past mistakes
As a symbol that we've grown
So we no longer place our weight
On top of broken bones
Mark an end to aimless roaming
With a double-sided knife
If we develop eyes for others
May we both be stripped of sight
Liken our divide to partitions in the earth
Wrapped in walls of vines
Growing out of common ground
A garden grew between us
Our tears have purpose in a drought
Sew your skeleton to mine
I'm no good on my own
Stitch yourself to either side of me
So I will never be alone
We mend our past mistakes
As a symbol that we've grown
So we no longer place our weight
On top of broken bones
Mark an end to aimless roaming
With a double-sided knife
Taking steps towards each other
We could end both our lives
And that'd be fine
Aim your sharpest arrow at the
Center of my chest a memorial to signify the
Sense of helplessness
We dare not mourn our past lives
Though our loss will be reborn
I couldn't love who you were
But, you're not you anymore
