[Verse 1]
I used to wait for the day
My mind wouldn't ache
With the thought of being all by myself
Tempted to pull out of fate
Write and say I want to be hours with somebody else
You shook me out of my thoughts
And left me with soft kisses
Where my bruises live
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Being alone
Doesn't seem so bad
Cause I know that you'll always have my hand
In the end
[Chorus 1]
Yours is the kiss I've been waiting for
And eyes that are more than just a mirror
Everyday my body decays more and more
And my broken hearts long to be near her
I fell apart
On my own
Now I found a life I can call my home
[Verse 2]
Down by the river I sat
And I emptied my lungs
Took my shoes off and and stuck out my feet to go numb
Stopped on my way to pick a few flowers
Let out a cry and lost track of the hours
Then woke up on my floor
My clothes drenched in sweat
The sound of your cries, it's not left my head
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're more than enough
Just hold yourself up
[Chorus 2]
I was born in the wrong skin but when you hold me close
All my pieces fit together
I could wonder where you been when I needed you most
But you're one step ahead with forever
I'll hold your heart
Though the phone
Cause yours is the life I can call my home
I used to wait for the day
My mind wouldn't ache
With the thought of being all by myself
Tempted to pull out of fate
Write and say I want to be hours with somebody else
You shook me out of my thoughts
And left me with soft kisses
Where my bruises live
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Being alone
Doesn't seem so bad
Cause I know that you'll always have my hand
In the end
[Chorus 1]
Yours is the kiss I've been waiting for
And eyes that are more than just a mirror
Everyday my body decays more and more
And my broken hearts long to be near her
I fell apart
On my own
Now I found a life I can call my home
[Verse 2]
Down by the river I sat
And I emptied my lungs
Took my shoes off and and stuck out my feet to go numb
Stopped on my way to pick a few flowers
Let out a cry and lost track of the hours
Then woke up on my floor
My clothes drenched in sweat
The sound of your cries, it's not left my head
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're more than enough
Just hold yourself up
[Chorus 2]
I was born in the wrong skin but when you hold me close
All my pieces fit together
I could wonder where you been when I needed you most
But you're one step ahead with forever
I'll hold your heart
Though the phone
Cause yours is the life I can call my home
