lyrics

please don’t go
i’m not finished becoming what i will
the light
the light is taking me to pieces
and you’re still winding ‘round my heart
in my head

we had a certain
well what would you say
maybe a je ne sais quoi
mais vous n’aimez pas français et
like any promise
i was something you could break
but you can’t break me forever
‘cause you always never stay
i’m of a mind that mercy relieves
but i don’t know what mercy looks like
when it comes to you and me
i’m denied rhymes
every line’s incomplete
in a world where there is no you
only me
only me

please don’t go
i’m not finished becoming what i will
the light
the light is taking me to pieces
and you’re still winding ‘round my heart
in my head

when was the moment
that you knew that we would break
was it when i tried to leave you
‘cause i knew you’d never stay
was it when i was careless on your dime
the millionth time
was it when i never gave you enough
while you were mine
i had a mind for mercy to leave
when it was clear that i was mostly hurting you
by being me
but i tried ‘cause you asked it of me
i was ready for anything
but for you
leaving

please don’t go
i’m not finished becoming what i will
the light
the light is taking me to pieces
and you’re still winding ‘round my heart
in my head

like anybody i am always who you met
just your nobody who loves you
and wants for you what is best
so
if leaving you alone is what you need from me
i’ll stay very far away
and sing
to me

please don’t go
i’m not finished becoming what i will
the light
the light is taking me to pieces
