It all got worse before she came around
We’re two little hearts to put in the ground
And now that she’s older, she might figure out
If it’s comfort she’s after, she’d have found it by now
And it’s all over her face in ways I can’t fake
Oh God, how I hate this place
It never came to me that way
It only leaves when I stay
I always walk when I pray
I don’t wanna be afraid
Down on my knees like a ghost in defeat
Like a man in the street, crumble and heave
And I can’t grab a hold of the chains on this boulder
The weight on my shoulders is too heavy to keep
I’ll break down in his face
I’ll be taught a new race
Oh God, take the race from me
It never came to me that way
It only leaves when I stay
I always walk when I pray
I don’t wanna be afraid
I am afraid
