The Way You Laugh Dawes

I suppose we are born from our silence
But you seem to take yours with you
You treat all of your love as defiance
Like a child that refuses to bloom

You forced me to face all of your beauty
Then turned your beauty away from yourself
This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here
But doesn't seem to go anywhere else

And your heart rests in your chest
Like a charm 'round your neck
That you couldn't find words to refuse
And this high horse you ride
It has broken its stride
As it leads us through worlds built for you

So walk with me a little bit further
So I can find the tenderness you keep inside
God made you with a taste for the madness in love
But you confuse your gift with your pride

And I can't help you with removing that bandage
I will leave you all to yourself while you heal
As I'm learning time is a language
And it's the best way to explain how I feel
