Backbone Lyrics by Colourblind

Move Like You

2018

[Verse 1]
Drifting between, my actions and speech
Will never be enough to
Keep me here
I'm oversensitive, I see in negative
And I don't have a backbone
So my promises mean shit

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd feel empathy
It's something that is wrong with me
I'll always love you even while I bleed
Just as long as you stay with me
So stomp your feet all over me
It only hurts when you'll leave
I'll always love you wholeheartedly
Just as long as you stay with me

[Verse 2]
Please just leave me here
I want to be alone
Won't let this go through to you
So I'm turning off my phone
Please don't leave me here
I'm afraid of myself
Please don't leave me here
I'm afraid of myself

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd feel empathy
It's something that is wrong with me
I'll always love you even while I bleed
Just as long as you stay with me
So stomp your feet all over me
It only hurts when you'll leave
I'll always love you wholeheartedly
Just as long as you stay with me

[Verse 3]
Have I always been this weak?
Have I always been this weak?
I don't know 'cause I'm on both sides
I won't make it, not if I die
You live for people in your life
But they will leave you if they see you cry
It gets better once you see the point
I've been saying that since I was born
I'm sorry mom and dad, I'm not alright
But I think I'm running out of time

[Instrumental Outro]
