lyrics

I never guessed I'd be the one left
holding on to every scrap of every thread of mine
I always knew you'd be the one to sew me up to sew me back together when I come undone

so where's that street behind the house that lines the fence all the way back to town? You've lost me there some times
A naked chase exposed the worst and closed the doors off, sent me flailing home, sent me off to hide

I couldn't stay
stay here for anything

an empty house alone afraid a wreck,
I sap my strength just to protect every scrap of mine
an empty house unlock the doors in case you'd decide to break in
while I let you steal away, hide my eyes when you'd pour me out

and she's the bottle again while I'm still a bridge between two things
between two lives but not the hole you've left
between you and me

I couldn't stay
stay here for anything
stay here for anything

i couldn't trade
trade in for anything
