Lyrics

There is no safer place
Than in between cold embraces
Say it again
I like how you work my name
Embroidering the pain
On every speck of skin
The distance has been not so kind; I curse this caveat
And the temperatures are wearing paper thin
I am sick of listening

The worst is yet to come, my dear
I’ve been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you’d just let me make my own mistakes I promise I’ll behave
Only in the worst way

Too heavy to hold my own
Evaporating soul
Sweltered and sandwiched in
The middle of this melting heart of major compromise
I have one foot out and one foot almost in
I am sick of listening

The worst is yet to come, my dear
I’ve been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you’d just let me make my own mistakes I promise I’ll behave
Only in the worst way
Only in the worst way

I won’t say I’m sorry
This hasn’t been a waste of time
Tell me do you think we’ll be fine after all?
I’m all nerve
An anxious sort of complicated fear
The worst is yet to come my dear

The worst is yet to come, my dear
I’ve been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you’d just let me make my own mistakes I promise I’ll behave
Only in the worst way
The worst is yet to come, my dear
I’ve been fighting back for what feels like nearly several hundred years
If you’d just let me make my own mistakes I promise I’ll behave
Only in the worst way
Only in the worst way
Only in the worst way
