I Swear

I’ve got nothing to say to you
Lies or truth
Conversation or passing
I don’t want to give any of me away
But I can feel you like heat
Burning from the cold stare
Even though you turn away from me
There’s eyes in the back of your head; I swear
I hear you like thunder
Even though I’m aware
Everybody went quiet then
I swear
I’ve got nothing to take from you
I’m made from wisdom and pain
Created out of pride and shame
I wouldn’t have you change it
Any other way

The Weight

Pinch me, pull me
Break me, hurt me
Say things like “you don’t deserve me”
Say things like “Nobody wants you around”
Push me to the edge and hope I break
Point out all the mistakes I make
I’m only human
I have to stay on the ground
You call me out on my words
Like you don’t control what I say
Didn’t want to make things worse
But you need to be told that’s not okay
Now my heads held high
Cause I know I’m not in the wrong
I know I’m not the one in the wrong
My bones ache
from the weight on my shoulders
More bruises to hide as I get older
I’ve got someone by my side that makes me feel strong
It’s just a shame that the weight pushes me down
I’m my own worst enemy
when he’s not around
Everything I say just sounds so wrong
You call me out on my words
Like you don’t control what I say
Didn’t want to make things worse
But you need to be told that’s not okay
Now my heads held high
Cause I know I’m not in the wrong
Now I know I’m not in the wrong
I know I’m not the one in the wrong
You call me out on my words
Like you don’t control what I say
Didn’t want to make things worse
But you need to be told that’s not okay
‘Cause it’s a heavy weight

Open the windows
And get some light in this room
I tell you in the blink of an eye it’ll be summer
It’s been arriving too soon
Before I'm ready
Before I’ve done what needs to be
Before, I swore the grass was more green?
There were more birds in the tree’s
Take off your jumper
And feel the sun on your skin
I know it looks like it’ll be darker than it’s ever been
But just keep swimming
