Marble Arch lyrics
by Erin LeCount
[Verse 1]
When I came back from the dead
The first thing they said
Was, "You've never looked better"
Every compliment
Went rushing to my head
As my heart kept weakening
[Verse 2]
This body used to be my home now it's just an homage
A souvenir I gave to everyone I love
The walls of my heart look like museum corridors
The love that I gave you was art in my form
But I'm scared if I learn to be happy
I'll forget how to write songs
[Chorus]
Am I hard to love?
Am I cold to touch?
Am I? Am I? Am I?
Is there a fault in my core?
Did I do something wrong?
Did I? Did I? Did I?
[Verse 3]
I am breaking my back, bending to your heart
My spine curves against your fingertips
Like a marble arch
I try to make the ache something beautiful to watch
I'm a statue you can pray to
You complain I'm cold to touch
[Chorus]
I am hard to love
Not what you thought
Am I? Am I? Am I?
Is there a fault in my core?
Did I do something wrong?
Did I? Did I? Did I?
[Bridge]
There is no more love in my bones
This body was my home
This body was my own before I knew you
Now I'm hard to love
Am I cold to touch?
Am I? Am I? Am I?
[Outro]
'Cause I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
A pile of bones you try to love
A pile of bones
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
