I dug myself out of my grave
A box of pine and dirt remain
And every insecurity I've left there with it
I laughed at every word you said
With sparkling eyes, a handsome head
And confidence we'll perfect
The things you see are nothing like me
[Chorus]
I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me
I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now
It's every way you move and everything you do
You'll never make me forget the things I've seen
I know my secret's safe with me
[Verse 2]
I took the stairs, I climbed so high
On every floor I told a lie
And at the top I tried to fly
But stayed here with you
The door keeps opening
It brings a gust of cold and crawling skin
I'm comfortable but I just sinned silently
And that's just like me
[Chorus]
I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me
I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now
It's every way you move and everything you do
You'll never make me forget the things I've seen
I know my secret's safe with me
[Bridge]
Fill me, spill me
Leave this mess behind
You may not have a lot to give
But I'll still take it
Make me, hate me
Bottle me up inside
It's better there than where I've been
A perfect heart I never was
I lied to everyone I loved
It made them love me even more
And made me hate myself
[Chorus]
I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me
I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now
It's every way you move and everything you do
You'll never make me forget the things I've seen
I know my secret's safe with me
[Verse 1] I dug myself out of my grave A box of pine and dirt remain And every insecurity I've left there with it I laughed at every word you said With sparkling eyes, a handsome head And confidence we'll perfect The things you see are nothing like me [Chorus] I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now It's every way you move and everything you do You'll never make me forget the things I've seen I know my secret's safe with me [Verse 2] I took the stairs, I climbed so high On every floor I told a lie And at the top I tried to fly But stayed here with you The door keeps opening It brings a gust of cold and crawling skin I'm comfortable but I just sinned silently And that's just like me [Chorus] I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now It's every way you move and everything you do You'll never make me forget the things I've seen I know my secret's safe with me [Bridge] Fill me, spill me Leave this mess behind You may not have a lot to give But I'll still take it Make me, hate me Bottle me up inside It's better there than where I've been A perfect heart I never was I lied to everyone I loved It made them love me even more And made me hate myself [Chorus] I'll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me I buried all the misery, but it's clawing back now It's every way you move and everything you do You'll never make me forget the things I've seen I know my secret's safe with me Explain Request ×
