I never meant to let you in
Opening my door to someone just as confused as me.
I never meant to enjoy the words dripping from your mouth
Like honey, drenching my wings.
I fell for your soul that night
And your heart reverberating through my walls.
You pulled me closer, and I could feel it beating
Ready to march into battle.
Morning came, and so you stayed
You wanted to climb mountains.
So I dreamt of adventures with you
And believed the clear lakes in your eyes.
Sometimes I wonder what you’re doing
And if you’ve forgotten my name.
Words mean nothing
When they drip from empty hives.
I know that I won't forget
How perfectly you fit around me.
But even a perfectly tailored coat
Is sometimes torn in the seams.

Opening my door to someone just as confused as me.
I never meant to enjoy the words dripping from your mouth
Like honey, drenching my wings.

And your heart reverberating through my walls.
You pulled me closer, and I could feel it beating
Ready to march into battle.
Morning came, and so you stayed
You wanted to climb mountains.
So I dreamt of adventures with you
And believed the clear lakes in your eyes.
Sometimes I wonder what you’re doing
And if you’ve forgotten my name.
Words mean nothing
When they drip from empty hives.
I know that I won't forget
How perfectly you fit around me.
But even a perfectly tailored coat
Is sometimes torn in the seams.
