Lyrics NIKI – Autumn

I carved my name into your ribcage
We talked of lands away from this cage

You said «don’t fret, love, someday I’ll be my own man, I’ll be free»
Oh but darling did you mean

You promised home, the kind I’ve never known
But here we are skin and flesh and beating hearts
And I’m wondering what the hell I’m doing wrong

You said «let’s make ourselves our very own brigade
This love our shied, our blade»
Oh, but darling do you see the cuts from which I bleed?
It’s me you slain

I didn’t obliterate these walls for you to come and raid my home
And here you are, right next to me ironically, I’ve never felt more alone

I fell for you faster than I fell apart
And I guess I’m the one to blame for letting myself fall to hard
I ripped my heart out and put in your hands in hopes that we’d put up a fight
How paradoxical, since now all I can think about is when will we stop trying…

Oh…
How do we stay afloat? When do I let go?
All you do is blindside me, it’s heart to be brave
But when the night cuts into the day, it’s your love I crave
I must’ve thanked my luck stars too much
They left me sitting into much dust

You know all my dreams
You were one so it seemed and I love you
But with you, it’s heartache I breath
You showed me your heart but you never let me have the key

Oh, my love
Is this the end for us?
