[Verse]
I heard you might be getting better
So I finally tossed that torn up sweater
I wonder if it'll stick this time
Or if you'll lose to your own spite

I used to see you in my brother
'till he became a real good father
He'd never let his daughter suffer
And he'd find you if you'd even touched her

[Bridge]
It's safe to say
You're not
You're becoming who
You wished you had stopped

[Verse]
I'm noticing a lightbulb flicker
And I'll fix it when I have the vigour
It reminds me that I still have time
To face your face inside my mind

I wonder if you kept the pictures
Do you look at them like they're scriptures?
Defining you and I for all
We should've been and what we are
[Bridge]
You remind me
Of broken glass
Glued together but
The water still seeps through the cracks

[Chorus]
You held me as I trembled
As if you were not the reason
And what's worse is I believed you more
Than I believed in Jesus

Oh, you held me in submission
As you fed on my addiction
And I wanted your revisions
Up until the prohibition

Oh, I promised you the world
Even as small as mine was
And you didn't even need it
You just wanted a lost cause

[Verse]
Now I'm walking up to meet you
Like before it all got bad
But it was never really good
I just convinced myself of that
You've told me that I've gotten taller
My eyes are in line with your collar
You knelt down like I was your altar
And I left you there beneath the vultures
