Rib Cage Lyrics by NineFingers

Broken Hearts and False Starts

2020

Hurt me if you want
I won't even care
I'll marvel at the pain
And the fact that you were there
Cause I swore you were a dream
You'd be gone when I woke up
I thought romance was for kids
And I'd long ago grown up
Cause I've owned a robot heart
Frayed wires and gears all bent
Encased inside a chest
That was built out of cement
But you poured right through my walls
Your warmth a rising tide
Until I could hear a heartbeat
That I'd long ago denied
But I give nothing or I givе it all
I never learnеd about temperance or how to break my fall
I always dive chest first or I don't jump at all
I've cracked so many, many ribs
It's hard to breathe at all
In the hours I'm not with you I still daydream all about you
Picture us pressed up together
Intertwined, hearts content, purpose aligned
Smiling, laughing, breathing
Finally able to exhale all those fears asphyxiating us for years
But we have learned the dangers of trusting
The pain of giving everything but being left behind with nothing
Anxiety has got my head reeling
But it can't hold back this feeling
I'm on the edge and I am jumping
Cause I give nothing or I give it all
I never learned about temperance or how to break my fall
I always dive chest first or I don't jump at all
I've cracked so many, many ribs
It's hard to breathe at all
Cause I give nothing or I give it all
I never learned about temperance or how to break my fall
I always dive chest first or I don't jump at all
I've cracked so many, many ribs
It's hard to breathe ya'll
It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe
