when your insecurities bubble up
you begin to crumble in
then we start to fizzle down
and we can never seem to win

but spring brings new life
that's what they say
but for us it brings distance
and we're not just far away

now I'm lost among your words
hoping mine will get me through
but they're a noose around my neck
tethered with my love for you

it's saving me from the fire
that's burning at my feet
but soon my own device
will be the cause of my defeat
