You Are Only Your Own Lyrics by Sive

The Roaring Girl

2017

You are only your own, you are only your own
Who am I to take that from you?
You are only your own, you are only your own
You are only your own, you are only your own
Who am I to take that from you?
You are only your own, you are only your own
Unlock the floodgates and I'II do my time
Turn your body over and spill out your mind
You cling to the hinges, I beg you let go
Your bones will only rust if you keep the lid closed
But I can't stop the world from ganging up on you
I can't keep its dirty paws off you
You've come to say you'd give it up
If I want you is this where you'll be?
It's a place you can never take me
If I lose my patience, then here's my excuse
I'm only a human and I think you're one too
But the space we held between us is filling up slow
We're firing out these signals, we water, they grow
But I can't stop the world from ganging up on you
I can't keep its dirty paws off you
You've come to say you'd give it up
Did you think that’d lighten my load?
If I want you is this where you'll be?
It's a place you can never take me
It's not as if we could be running out of love
Because when the word is failing us
There still is love
