[Verse 1]
"I wanna be alone."
She said under her breath
And I could feel my heart strings stretch
And I draped them all around her neck
And I just sang
[Chorus]
"I was a mess before we met
Sleeping in box springs
Covered in sweat
Afraid of everything and shrinking slowly"
[Verse 2]
And I watched her walk
To the wall I was staring at
With her legs like rope
And she tied them around my lap
"You're not broke
People feel like this everywhere
I should know
[Chorus]
I was a mess before we met
Sleeping on velvet
Covered in sweat
Hating everything and sinking slowly"
