lyrics

When I hear your voice on the phone
I feel like I'm pulling a rope
I drag my heels to the bone
I still don't know my strength
or my place

You never claimed to be the best
You claim all your regrets
think you had it all before he left
ooo the things you let him take
but my place

do you want a knife
do you want a blanket
you don't know the truth
but the sentiment
and I'm the luckiest on the planet
I'm going mad looking after you

you lay in your bed of snakes
thats the bed you made
I tell you it'll be ok
but I'm so afraid
of my place

where are you now
in the wind in the pines
I don't recall
but I can't look beyond the lines
they lead from you
from your inside
through machines
to the outside of the hospital
to the end of my rope
