lyrics

BETTY:
I was trying to save,
I was trying to save you.

When you hold me so close,
Do you feel the tiny pulse?
Do you feel the temperature rising?
Does the heart skip a beat?
Hold and release.

Is it keeping up with the timing?
Are we declining?
(Are we fallen?)
Do I need to have a seat?
Do you need to repeat these steps to find me?
Are we lost in the frost?
(Am I gone?)
Frozen in the glacier.

Or am I just a bunch of tiny thoughts?
Brought up in conversation,
(Just some thoughts)
Tangled with a few good ideas,
But I don’t really belong here!

Calling it something awful,
So sullen,
Just like your soft tears.
(It’s a cry for help)

It’s all fear!
Who let this darkness in here?
(Let it in)

As we huddled around the tree,
Our spirits were engulfed in that old aroma,
Once the smoke cleared,
I could barely stand to know ya.

I want to start over,
I wish.

Rebecca:
I was trying to save myself,
And nothing at all.

B: I was trying to save,
I was trying to save you.

R: Oh,
You couldn’t protect me,
Oh, and if you’re trying to appease impossible me,
It has created some ghost
Of a woman you wanted to love
And I know you felt like
You were never enough
Truth is,
You needed a filler from someone
(me)
Someone you could have lift you up
And now you see,
Now you can see…
