Muted Light

I’m tired of being strong for you

I’m tired of the glass I chew

Still I come back,

every time (ooh)

You look at me like I’m a fix

Like I don’t bleed under my skin

I hold my tongue till it turns blue

Then I lie and say I’m fine with you (ahhhh)

Say you’re sorry like it’s rain But it never hits the ground

My hands shake on the same old chain And I hate how

I come around (ooh)

I’m tired of being strong for you

I’m tired of the glass I chew

Still I come back,

every time

And it hurts like it’s supposed to (oh) (ooooh) (yeah)

You say it’s love,

but it’s a weight

You call it fate,

I call it late

I sleep with one eye on the door

Still I reach for you like before (ah)

If I let go,

I might be free

But I don’t know who’d notice me

So I keep my hurt on a leash

And I dance like it don’t bite me (ooh) I’m tired of

being strong for you

I’m tired of the glass I chew Still I come back,

every time And it hurts like it’s supposed to (oh)

I don’t need a throne,

just room to breathe

I don’t need your truth,

just something clean

If you hear me now,

don’t pull me under

I’m learning how to leave without thunder (hummmm)

I’m tired of being strong for you

I’m tired of the glass I chew

Still I come back,

every time But tonight I

cut the cord in two (oh)
