[verse 1]
say you’re sorry for this stolen stay and remiss to
the things that surround you, there’s nothing around you
reason had no effect on you, you kept your ears to the ground
you stood there holding life and slowly let it die

you seemed so callous, yet appeared so lovely
but like skin on my fingers, you hardened and dug deep
so pardon the rug swept from my feet

[chorus]
your hollow skin and fragile spine
the last thing still left on my mind and
i thought maybe this time you’d help me see through these
blurred lines and tired eyes
your confident, inspired lies
don’t let ripened chances rot on the vine

[verse 2]
and i don’t mean “i hate you”
just need a way of letting steam off for the second chance i gave you
so what do you want from me, what do you want from me

you’re terrified to sacrifice when others cast their doubt
with dead-end eyes, each time you’ll miss the signs, your vision wore you out
now time is hanging heavy as your heart (it hangs as heavy as your heart)
hope holds us together while it’s tearing you apart

[chorus]
your hollow skin and fragile spine
the last thing still left on my mind and
i thought maybe this time you’d help me see through these
blurred lines and tired eyes
your confident, inspired lies
don’t let ripened chances rot on the vine

[bridge]
so was it worth it? did you convince yourself?
just to return to your pride collecting dust up on the shelf
you’re dashed to pieces, you threw your words around
and if i ever spoke so recklessly, i’d never make a sound

you’re feeling hopeless, hopelessly underwhelmed
you broke your promise to yourself that you would never become them
you’d search the whole world, for an excuse to frame
you had it coming all along, you’re just an optimist in vain

[chorus]
your hollow skin and fragile spine
the last thing still left on my mind and
i thought maybe this time you’d help me see through these
blurred lines and tired eyes
your confident, inspired lies
don’t let ripened chances rot on the vine

[outro]
someday you’ll come into your own
regretting setting life in stone
a shadow hanging over you
because of what you thought you knew
and when you set your sights on higher views
then shrugging off what doesn’t have a second chance will all come back to you
