VERTEBRE

You told me it’s no big deal
And then you’re leaving me alone
You put your blame in my mouth
And you know this isn’t the way

We pretend to be grown-ups but
We cry at college
I feel sometimes
Like a lost dog in the city

Tear the skin from my vertebrae
But tell me why you don’t wanna talk to me anymore
In your eyes, the city burns
Being here with you feels like losing my dignity

Ignoring each other feels like fucking to me
And jumping into the fire without ash
And between us, I don’t know who will win
No one ever told us
How to cry at our age

You gave me your best
Your best lies
And I held them so tight while
I learned how to fall

Tear the skin from my vertebrae
But tell me why you don’t wanna talk to me anymore
In your eyes, the city burns
Being here with you feels like losing my dignity

Ignoring each other feels like fucking to me
And jumping into the fire without ash
And between us, I don’t know who will win
No one ever told us
How to cry at our age

No one ever told us
No one ever told us no
Just to not disappear

Tear the skin from my vertebrae
But tell me why you don’t wanna talk to me anymore
Between us, I don’t know who will win
No one ever told us how to laugh at our age
