Lyrics

I'll try to describe the way that it felt to

Tell my own mother her son is a failure
His heart is too cold to love anyone but himself
It's like stabbing an icicle straight through your chest
Your whole body shivers as it coarses your blood
And your quivering throat keeps
Choking on those words
Mama I tried a thousand times
I'm frozen to the core
Your son is a glorious mess
Who wrecks anything he adores
But deep in his center he swears
There's a candle just waiting to burn. and melt

So who's gonna burn him
Yeah who's gonna break him
Into a thousand pieces
Melting over flames of perfection
I once felt its warmth
But it left me shivering in the dark
Mama I tired a thousand times
The pieces wouldn't fit
Son, love is a punch in the eye
It's a sudden and swift surprise. i
T's not a candle, its not waiting to burn
So baby, just wait your turn
And when it hits you
You'll see through rose colored apathy;
Through the blues that bruise can leave
Was it really worth the wait?
