Heartstop 03:38
heartstop. beat so fast only boy i ever loved gave up too soon you forgot who we were break through we want to be free i jumped and you let go free falling into the unknown rest in uncertainty i can be with or without you you may never know what you gave up but to me it is quite clear you thought you deserved more and i thought i deserved us break through i jumped and you let go free falling into the unknown rest in uncertainty i can be with or without you the lies i let myself believe the lies you told i choose to forgive we were preparing for this all along could've taken my hand but you're just not strong enough is enough restore our peace i withdrew my roots and i am free i jumped and you let go free falling into the unknown rest in uncertainty i can be with or without you

spark my heart loved you so big my love was more than a theory word i give i gave you took you take i flowed i froze i freeze i crack shatter break you put me through the fire melted mist and vapour burn i hurt run freely i am water i am light in love let you inside through the hurt stare dig and push deep watching you explode unravel inside of each other as we hid between the sheets i give i gave you took you take i flowed i froze i freeze i crack shatter break you put me through the fire melted mist and vapour burn i hurt run freely i am water i am light in love spark my heart blank space so clean i can love so big again walk forward to the light and you'll still take and take and take but not from me and i'll still give and give and give just not to you i flowed i froze i freeze i crack shatter break you put me through the fire melted mist and vapour burn i hurt run freely i am water i am light in love spark my heart blank space so clean

lay me down flowers and squares of disconnect connect open legged gave you a taste and waved my white flag when i'm dying in your dark side you're blinded by my bright light can't make you see when you've stood in the cold and my warmth does more harm than good i'm your recurrent dream retreat from your shadows eyes wide shut making bacon make it right i've no appetite for you now you cut me down and build me up i'm better off on my own when i'm dying in your dark side you're blinded by my bright light can't make you see when you've stood in the cold and my warmth does more harm than good i'm your recurrent dream retreat from your shadows eyes wide shut do whatever it takes to make it right except for what is right that piece you held is getting smaller with every move you make and every tear we drop when i'm dying in your dark side you're blinded by my bright light can't make you see when you've stood in the cold and my warmth does more harm than good i'm your recurrent dream retreat from your shadows eyes wide shut

he took away my breath made time stand still with hearts above my head and then he took it all away i ate all of his words brought back up so they're my own crawled out from beneath him rubbed the bruises off my back alone in the lonely my heart black as soot i'll rise from the ashes and dance on my grave sleep in your friendly shade pull me in so safe and sound let me rest catch my breath he killed me oh so quickly i'm killing us so gently now face down in the water until we no longer move when it all comes back to him like underwear and coffee cups here in the familiar i die daily alone in the lonely my heart black as soot i'll rise from the ashes and dance on our grave sleep in your friendly shade pull me in so safe and sound let me rest catch my breath don't wanna be your fall back girl no call back girl won't show you a good time so i write myself a new heart replace my sad with magic and make him disappear if it gets too dark won't ya please turn on a light alone in the lonely my heart black as soot i'll rise from the ashes and dance on our grave sleep in your friendly shade pull me in so safe and sound let me rest catch my breath and i'd burn my eyes out and i'd peel my skin off and unfeel oh unfeel it all if i could just be brand new he took away my breath made time stand still with hearts above my head and then he took it all away

Influenced by tears,temper tantrums, the human heart, quiet mornings, good coffee, snuggles, imperfections, unconditional love, pen and paper, gin, cool showers, keeping warm, learning to play the ukulele over a three day car drive, sunsets, dancing, being twisted and turned, surviving a broken heart...

Special thanks to my parents--for letting me hole up in their basement drinking boxed wine from a mug while writing furiously in my journal, to the rest of my fam & friends for picking up the pieces and loving me through (I wanna name you all individually but this would get super long and I'd likely leave people out and feel bad later), Aidan for listening to shoddy phone recordings and connecting me with Jesse, Jesse for recording, O'haara for the remixes and touch ups, Sofia & Koren...for giving me a reason to wake up in the morning, and to you for listening. <3
