[Intro]
Your beauty burns me, like a brand upon my soul, it's honestly quite simple
I'll trip on overburdened, pretentiously poetic words to say
That I could never deserve your embrace
[Verse 1]
An awkward dancer, I fret upon the stage, making a mockery of sincerity
The most pathetic part of all of my performance, that I truly mean each word I say
How do you love that which cannot love itself? The poets say that it's impossible
How can I rest my head while falling, knowing there will be no soft embrace to catch my fall
My heart tears itself apart attempting to find a reason to pump blood
[Chorus]
Though hopeless in my romanticism, I am not a fool
I know, an empty cup could never fill another, still
Could something as effortlessly perfect as yourself
Find it in your heaving heart to sympathize with a wretch such as myself
Maybe we could be the moss laden, tender branches
That caress and cradle each other's fragile blooms
We both know this could never be forever
But just for tonight, maybe this could be enough
[Verse 2]
Then I awake, as the cruel morning's light burns my face
Blistering winds blow through the curtains, wrap tendrils around my feet
And truth be told, the cold would be easier to face
If I could know that you were waiting for me
[Breakdown]
I can no longer discern whether or not my desire for affection
Has become a cast or a crutch, a muse or an addiction
Are you my muse, or my addiction?
I don't fucking care
Just wrap me in your gentle snare, as long as you whisper sweet nothings
I will still be there, I am still here
[Chorus]
Though hopeless in my romanticism, I am not a fool
I know, an empty cup could never fill another, still
Could something as effortlessly perfect as yourself
Find it in your heaving heart to sympathize with a wretch such as myself
Maybe we could be the moss laden, tender branches
That caress and cradle each other's fragile blooms
We both know this could never be forever
But just for tonight, maybe this could be enough
[Outro]
It's honestly quite simple, ridiculously, pathetically so
My turbulent, overcompensating love, will find a place to hurt you
I have become the very co-dependent curse that once afflicted me
But still, if you could stay nestled in this innocent embrace
Even just long enough that we might have a taste of momentary security
Just for tonight, just until light, maybe that could be enough
Your beauty burns me, like a brand upon my soul, it's honestly quite simple
I'll trip on overburdened, pretentiously poetic words to say
That I could never deserve your embrace
[Verse 1]
An awkward dancer, I fret upon the stage, making a mockery of sincerity
The most pathetic part of all of my performance, that I truly mean each word I say
How do you love that which cannot love itself? The poets say that it's impossible

My heart tears itself apart attempting to find a reason to pump blood
[Chorus]
Though hopeless in my romanticism, I am not a fool
I know, an empty cup could never fill another, still
Could something as effortlessly perfect as yourself
Find it in your heaving heart to sympathize with a wretch such as myself
Maybe we could be the moss laden, tender branches
That caress and cradle each other's fragile blooms
We both know this could never be forever
But just for tonight, maybe this could be enough
