歌詞

I stand where the light

Turns thin on the floor

No one has closed it

No one says more

I keep my face

In a careful room

Like wanting less

Might let me through

Not turned away

Not carried in

I wait outside

My own skin

Clear me or leave me

But don’t hold the gate

I am tired of living

In someone else’s wait

Love me or lose me

Make the line true

I can’t keep breathing

To be allowed by you

A soft little yes

Would change the air

A simple no

Would meet me there

But this pale pause

Keeps moving in

I learn to be small

To fit within

Not turned away

Not carried in

I wait outside

My own skin

Clear me or leave me

But don’t hold the gate

I am tired of living

In someone else’s wait

Love me or lose me

Make the line true

I can’t keep breathing

To be allowed by you

There is a door

With no hand on it

There is a word

No mouth will give

I was not made

For this review

To be half a life

Until you choose

Clear me or leave me

But don’t hold the gate

I am tired of living

In someone else’s wait

Love me or lose me

Make the line true

I can’t keep breathing

To be allowed by you
