lyrics

I built a scaffold around you
Placed myself in every stone we’d stack
What if the home that we built
Still stood tall once the foundations cracked

This never seemed possible when we were hand in hand by the seine
Oh how lovers fall and hope their heads won’t break the surface again
We took our time, let our fingers grow tired
From gripping onto what was falling apart
But memories are hopeless liars
They don’t recall that this was wrong from the start

This architecture failed me
It’s fair to say that it failed you back
We can’t say which one came first
And claim defense when we both attack

I was dragged out of the rubble
Built anew before I changed my name
You bound my hands to stop the bleeding
From picking at the scabs again
Every brick found a new tessellation
The edges now seemed so clear
Rebuilding a friendship forbidden
I found a shape that reflected me

These walls now as defenses for the moment
They hold my past within

So push me back down
I won’t get back up
I will just shut up

Push me back down and I will get up
