scarecrow Lyrics

You swore you could never hate me now you don't even call

And I felt my bones break from the height of the fall

I hate when they ask how the songs are coming along

When I still have the stains from laying on your lawn

And I don't know you now

Maybe I never did

Maybe I'd rather you hate me than this indifference

But if anyone asks, I wouldn't change a thing I did

But I could grow to love it here if they clear out all the ghosts

If the vines that box me in don't find their way around my throat

And I could love to grow up here if I didn't jump at every shadow

But I'm stuck chasing the real thing just to realise you're just a scarecrow

You're just a scarecrow

Were you laughing it off or just laughing along?

You played me your favourite song and got half of the words wrong

That Halloween, we matched and you swore it was a trick

But Elle said it took you three whole weeks to plan it

Tripping over my words just to fall on my own sword

My guitar gathers dust while I bleed out on the floor

And all you had to say was you wish you wanted me more

And I could grow to love it here

If they clear out all the ghosts

If the vines that box me in

Don't find their way around my throat

And I could love to grow up here

If I didn't jump at every shadow

But I'm stuck chasing the real thing

Just to realise you're just a scarecrow

Brush it off, clean me up

I'm just another mess you can pretend not to judge

All the bones in your garden

Hide away underground while you make friends with a shotgun

Make it quick, make it clean

Make it kinder than I deserve it to be

Smile too wide, grit your teeth

Could you love me if I could let you leave?

D

I could grow to love it here

If they clear out all the ghosts

If the vines that box me in

Don't find their way around my throat

And I could love to grow up here

If I didn't jump at every shadow

But I'm stuck chasing the real thing

Just to realise you're just a scarecrow

You're just a scarecrow

You're just a scarecrow

You're just a
