Lyrics for Hanging

Hanging on your every word And any time you talk, the rope is burning And maybe I'm just brave when I'm asleep I tell you how you kill me in my dreams I wouldn't like to hold my breath To be pushed underwater when I'm coming up for air Somebody good shouldn't feel so bad Well, I must've done something to deserve to feel this sad And my heart won't grow With your fingers down my throat It's a hard brown stone Like an embryo It will never be a part of me worth finding I'm going home to intubate 'Cause every time we talk, I suffocate Remember when you said I'm a disease And how you'd like to kill me in your dreams? I couldn't help but hold my breath For a change in direction, now I'm running out of air Somebody good shouldn't be so cruel And I know you don't mean it, but I'm breaking like a wound And my heart won't grow With your fingers down my throat It's a hard brown stone Like an embryo It will never be a part of me worth finding Yeah, yeah, oh yo Yeah, yeah, oh yo Yeah, you were a part of me I'm so relieved it hurts Yeah, you were a part of me I'm so relieved it hurts Yeah, you were a part of me I'm so relieved it hurts
