Hurt Like You, Love Lyrics

Tell me slowly how it goes

I'm struggling to keep up

I know the roots have taken hold

See them wrapped around your wrist love

It grows beneath the surface

A scratch can show the dirt

The leaves blow with your breathing

I see how much it hurts

So tell me slowly how it goes

I'm struggling to keep up

But I'll pull out my teeth so I hurt like you love

This drowning feels like self control

Give in to the undertow

Feel the current wearing fissures in your skin

A cage that grows inside your chest

Oh god please give me some rest

I hope you know you've come so far from where you've been

It's too late to take back

You're sorry I know that

Ignorance is heavy

I'm too much to carry

So tell me slowly how it goes

I'm struggling to keep up

But I'll pull out my teeth so I hurt like you love

Wearing down to your bones

Numb to touch bruise to hold

Turn to dust

And through my fingertips fall

A pain so natural

It grows in your blood

Permanent presupposed

I will hold on if you need to let go

You can collapse

Just let the ache flow

Crushed by the weight

Of letting the pain grow

I'm sorry again

Out of words that I know

But I'll keep speaking as long as you need

And I'll pull out my teeth so I hurt like you love

Wearing down to your bones

Numb to touch bruise to hold

Turn to dust

And through my fingertips fall

A pain so natural

It grows in your blood

Permanent presupposed

I will hold on if you need to let go

Numb to touch bruise to hold

Turn to dust

And through my fingertips fall

Permanent presupposed

I will hold on if you need to let go
