lyrics

When I can't see the sun
Angry lines will cross my arms
You'll know what I've done
Ghostly pale, my spirit's gone

All I never said
Keeps me locked away in bed
Films play through my head
Scenes I wish you'd write instead

But I like falling apart
Half-light room, you'll touch my arm
When I can't talk
Chest caved in, and eyes gone dark

Oh sweet bitter love
oh sweet bitter love

With vapoured breath we walk
Tell me about your paperback love
I can't measure up
A half-boy's heart is just too small

It hurts so good when you talk
Words scrape their way across my heart
But I like falling apart
Answer my questions, bleed me out

Oh sweet bitter love
oh sweet bitter love

I prefer ruin to
Risking a change in you
Intimate loneliness
Only the flash of love
Drunk staring into a glass
Avoiding your eyes and the past

But I like falling apart
Bury my bones in your backyard
A daisy pulled from the ground
Anything just to have you around

Oh sweet bitter love
oh sweet bitter love
