BONES! Lyrics

Showed up to dinner in that dress I wore to graduation

Didn't think you'd notice

You said something without hesitating

I didn't pay any mind to it when I put it on

I was just happy it fit

The freshman fifteen was gone

On the drive home I'm in shambles

This feels like the preamble

To how I'm gonna feel for the rest of my life

Like I'll be standing on the cliff

Yelling forever into the abyss

I'm screaming, crying

Willing it to fight me

Willing it to break some of my bones

But I'm alone

I'm keeping secrets

I'm hiding out in my sweatshirt

You tell me I look good and I pretend it doesn't hurt

We walk around all the gravestones just like we used to do

I pretend the ghosts aren't familiar

They don't look like you

On the drive home I am silent

My sobs are wet and quiet

Is this how I'm gonna feel for the rest of my life?

Like I'll be standing on that cliff

Yelling forever

Into the abyss

I'm screaming, crying

Willing it to fight me

Willing it to break some of my bones

But I'm alone

Yeah It's just me

Driving home with a skeleton in the passenger seat

My bloody nose has dripped onto my teeth

I've got no voice left

Changed my name

Faked my own death

But I'm still in my grad dress

Because I'll be standing on that cliff

Yelling forever

Into the abyss

I'm screaming, crying

Willing it to fight me

Willing it to break some of my bones

But I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

Cutting deals with the cliff side

Met with quiet

Met with silence

I'm alone
