[Verse 1] You can't be by yourself, you can't be by yourself
They kept you in the dark in a room with nothing sharp
Until you were well
You told me that you were so scared of what they know
But love isn't afraid, love is using your first name
In the poems that I wrote

[Verse 2] Follow me to a home abandoned at the shore
There's a story on the walls written in marker across the halls
That you'll adore
And no one can see us now, like the sun behind the clouds
Let's grab a drink for lunch and wash out the taste of blood
From our guilty mouths

[Outro] When you stepped into the light
I saw it running down your thighs
And thought, what a beautiful sight
To see you alive
