There's something lonely in the space we make together
just want to make you smile
Doubt drilled a hole in communication
Our twin aversions to confrontation won't help here
But I need you to stay

There's something haunted in the love we make together
Just want to keep you mine
Why does affection feel like imitation
My hungry ghost needs validation
Could you just tell me that we're ok?

I wear my body like it's an apology
I don't know where I go
Searching for heaven in the eyes of strangers
I pray to the alter of a broken hope
Planting love in borrowed gardens
It's no wonder we never make it to shore

Be gentle with me please
I adore you
But I'm tired of waiting for the good days again
Pickin off the petals till love me not rings true
Finding comfort in saying I already knew
It's a rigged game and we both lose

I wear my body like it's an apology
I don't know where I go
Searching for heaven in the eyes of strangers
I pray to the alter of a broken hope
Planting love in borrowed gardens
It's no wonder we never make it to shore
