Salt Ashes – Half The Battle lyrics

Did you know that I was steeped in fire
Blinded by my own desire for you
You were the healer
Was it easier to just cut the rope
Than to leave me hung up on tears of hope for you
You were the healer

I put the dress on that you bought and go out to forget all
It ends in trouble
Cos I remember that day in December
I hang out with the poison boys and just let them do it all
It’s just another night against the wall
Cos I remember that day in December

All I really want is one last fix
And if it doesn't give me what I need I'll know
But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle
Oh, how can I begin to make this real
When everything I do is made with guilt, I know
That giving in is half the battle. Giving it is half the battle

Was there anything more that I should've tried?
I gave all my heart ’til it pounded iron for you
You were the healer
I put the dress on that you bought and go out to forget all
It ends in trouble
Cos I remember that day in December


All I really want is one last fix
And if it doesn't give me what I need I'll know
But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle
Oh how can I begin to make this real
When everything I do is made with guilt, I know
That giving in is half the battle. Giving it is half the battle

You know this curse is electric, I know I’m not protected
It’s not enough, I’m not enough
But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle
You know this curse is electric, I know I’m not protected
It’s not enough, I’m not enough
But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle
