Like You Meant It

(One day I'll dance alone, but still, can you carry me?)

Sway with you on the floor like waves that drag me under
My body moves as one with yours while you think about her
Falling short of a man
As you lead me with a violent hand

One day I'll dance alone, but still, can you carry me?

Like the shadows in the dark
Hold me close in your arms
With this night that we mend
Don't know where your body ends
Can we build what was lost
Or rebirth love from lust?
'Cause this love feels like death
So kiss me like you meant it

Steps dance along this ground built on stilts of sorrow
A cross hung above the bed sees the hell of tomorrow
Strides we take tear us apart
Can't follow you when your soul is lost

Like the shadows in the dark
Hold me close in your arms
With this night that we mend
Don't know where your body ends
Can we build what was lost
Or rebirth love from lust?
'Cause this love feels like death
So kiss me like you meant it

It's not safe with him burning down our home
Tearing down the walls like limbs, you're better off alone
The dark me holds in its arms
Sing me to sleep just like a broken lullaby
Draw the life from my bones

Can't mend a broken heart with a broken man
I guess every parasite needs its host
And this host has nowhere to go
But I'm the one who's made my bed
So I guess I gotta die in it
Yeah, I guess I gotta die in it

Sins left unatoned, affection left at sea
One day I'll dance alone, but still, can you carry me?

Like the shadows in the dark
I'm too close in your arms
With this night that won't end
Don't know where your body ends
We can't build what was lost
Or rebirth love from lust
'Cause this love will be my death
So kiss me like you meant it
