lyrics

Your hairs grown longer
Since the last time I saw you
It's covering your eyes

And the pillow where I slept stays at the foot of your bed
Or between your knees to keep them
From knocking together

Your skinny wrists are the same
But they don't look like they'll carry any weight
But you carried me more than once didn't you

And your back seems so straight
You must have lain out for days to cure the posture you got
From stooping to my level

You're like a walking tomb, the way your move round the room
But the person I love is dead and she's inside of you

Your hands seem so small
Even though I know they're not
I've seen you hold the whole damn world in your palm

And the floor where we made love
In your parents house when we were young
Has been swept under the rug and is never spoken of

Your legs were always long
All the better to run away from the world with me
So we could rest easy

And the small of your back
When you woke would always crack
And I'd shudder to think about those bones

You're like a walking tomb, the way your move round the room
But the person I love is dead and she's inside of you
And I am a catalogue of flaws, and I guess so is this song
But it makes up the person I was not the one that I lost

If I could tell you one truth, it's that you're fucking beautiful
And not just your legs, and not just your hands, and not just your skinny wrists, or the small of your back
I'll never understand how one person
(How I'm supposed to be)
Can be so god damn perfect
(Anything but imperfect)
'Cause it's just the idea of you in my head that I'm still in love with
You're no longer the person that I grew up with
'Cause there's not an inch of her, that I wouldn't love again
Given half the chance, but I know she's dead

And you make such a beautiful corpse, but I will never know what you gave your life for
And you make such a beautiful corpse, and I will always be here to mourn, your passing.
