I used to treat you sweetly, I would pull you to my chest,As you cried about the ocean,Slippin’ quickly through your hands.You were searching for one grain of sand,Along an endless beach,As I was building you a castle,That you just refused to see.

What do I say, what do I do,To show you all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you,What do I say, what do I do…

I don’t wanna hold you if you wanna go,I’m not gonna make you feel love if you don’t,I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all.

You have faded my reality,Like leaves that turn to dust,Fell asleep inside a fantasy,Then woke up feeling lost.Now I’m terrified and restless,But I just cannot escape,I wish you had words to cool this fever,That is killing me.

What do I say, what do I do,To show you all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you,What do I say, what do I do…

I don’t wanna hold you if you wanna go,I’m not gonna make you feel love if you don’t,I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all. I don’t wanna hold you if you wanna go,I’m not gonna make you feel love if you don’t,I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all.
