[Verse 1]
You said I’m all you ever needed
But you don’t want me all the time
Imagine us living by a river
I was your shotgun bride
James was telling secrets
And you held my fingers
As you drive me away
Tie me up again, bribe me away
[Chorus]
You said she’s all you ever needed
We’re just strangers with copper bindings
Need you to give me back my lungs
So my body can forgive me slow
And I can fight this with my hands
But my head won’t let me, you’re still here
[Bridge]
I know that you’ve seen all the ways that my body can talk
But I never heard it like, I never heard it like that
So far from your hands, before, now I’m telling it was more
The binds are tight as we bite our tongue again
[Chorus]
You said she’s all you ever needed
We’re just strangers with copper bindings
Need you to give me back my lungs
So my body can forgive me slow
And I can fight this with my hands
But my head won’t let me, you’re still here
[Bridge]
I know that you’ve seen all the ways that my body can talk
But I never heard it like, I never heard it like that
[Outro]
And I can fight this with my hands
But my head won’t let me, you’re still here
