Ache Lyrics

I used to feel close to myself

Like this body that I live in was my own

I called her home

I used to feel warm in my skin

Like a worn down winter sweater

Softer with age but I'm slowly unraveling

Tell me how it makes sense

Until suddenly it doesn't

There's an ache in my bones for the time that you stole

A war in my heart where there used to be hope

A curse in my mouth for the pain that you caused

A pit in my stomach where there used to be trust

But when it's all been said and done

You can't take my love

I used to feel scared in the night

Like there's nowhere I could run to escape from this life

And I used to blame myself

Like somehow this was my fault

And I hated myself even more than you

So I try sometimes to feel nothing at all

There's an ache in my bones for the time that you stole

A war in my heart where there used to be hope

A curse in my mouth for the pain that you caused

A pit in my stomach where there used to be trust

But when it's all been said and done

You can't take my love

You can try to take it but I'm not letting go

Love is mine to give that's something you have never known

You can try to break me but I'm not letting go

You think you hold the power there's still fire in my soul

You don't own me anymore

There's an ache in my bones for the time that you stole

A war in my heart where there used to be hope

A curse in my mouth for the pain that you caused

A pit in my stomach where there used to be trust

But when it's all been said and done

You can't take my love
