lyrics

How did it take so long to know where it all went wrong?
It unfolded so slowly
You said my greatest strength is my biggest flaw
how deeply I love everyone
just toughen up is what you told me

You sweetly
broke my hopeful heart
and held up
the pieces like some modern art
why did I cling to you so fully?

In retrospect I should have left with the fire gone
but embers burn out slowly
you said my greatest strength is my biggest flaw
how deeply I love everyone
will be the death of me

The moment I believed you
I lost myself completely

It's been a long road back to me
