Winter Girls

The world got quiet, sorry I have no excuse
I'm awake but I'm not slipping to whichever world I choose
There's a scream somewhere but I'm too gone to even care
As you shake my bones I whisper 'I am fine, I swear'

I lost the summer inside I'm the winter girl you'll never see
Staying up all night chasing butterflies to set them free
As you hold me close I whisper 'make it go away'
Now I watch you go, you're the only reason why I stayed

If I told you about the melancholy in my mind
I'm sorry, but it's always gonna be around
You told me I'll never live here like you do
now you're leaving me behind
My baby shot me down

You let go of me
don't see what I see
I'm doubting myself for my belief
How can I feel free
with nothing in me
I'm shutting you out don't speak don't breathe
I want them to see, the absence of me
I'm counting my bones
I'm twisting the thrones
The less I am me the more I feel like home

I lost the summer inside I'm the winter girl you'll never see
Staying up all night chasing butterflies to set them free
As you hold me close I whisper 'make it go away'
Now I watch you go, you're the only reason why I stayed
