lyrics

I hear her say
Lift your sternum sit up tall
And I feel everything at once
Or I feel nothing at all
I feel my bones aching
So I know that I’m alive
And I feel a certain sadness
Right behind my eyes

I could feel it breaking ever since my fourteenth birthday
(every day I’m smaller)
I wish every day was longer
My skin it just can't hold me
I could feel it breaking ever since my fourteenth birthday
(every day I’m smaller)
I wish every day was longer
My skin it just can't hold me

How could my heart turn away from what I want
I beg for things I don’t need
Til you give me some
I feel it in my muscles
That I won’t be long
But maybe it’s all beauty I breathe it into a song

I could feel it breaking ever since my fourteenth birthday
(every day I’m smaller)
I wish every day was longer
My skin it just can't hold me
I could feel it breaking ever since my fourteenth birthday
(every day I’m smaller)
I wish every day was longer
My skin it just can't hold me

Maybe I should die young
Go back to where I came from I will see you there my love
I will see you there my love

(I don’t want to say it
It’s only getting worse isn’t it)

I could feel it breaking ever since my fourteenth birthday
(every day I’m smaller)
I wish every day was longer
My skin it just can't hold me
I could feel it breaking ever since my fourteenth birthday
(every day I’m smaller)
I wish every day was longer
My skin it just can't hold me
