don't make me hold it

don't make me hold it lyrics

Intro

One cracked bowl
on the counter

Verse 1

The sink keeps my secret
A spoon in the drain
I wear your old sweater
Like a bruise on my frame
My ribs click quiet
When the fridge light turns blue
I’m fine in the hallway
Not in the part that knew

Pre-Chorus

String me up slow
I’m about to fold
The floorboards lean in
And the kettle goes cold
I can feel it rising
Up through my teeth
Say my name once
And I’ll split at the seam

Chorus

Broken bowl heart
Don’t make me hold it
Broken bowl heart
I can’t control it
(Broken bowl heart)
I’m spilling again
Broken bowl heart
Don’t let me break in

Verse 2

There’s a chip on the teacup
Just like my front tooth
And the curtains keep breathing
In that sick kind of truth
I fold my hands small
Like I’m hiding a flame
The chair in the corner
Still knows your name

Pre-Chorus

String me up slow
I’m about to fold
The floorboards lean in
And the kettle goes cold
I can feel it rising
Up through my teeth
Say my name once
And I’ll split at the seam

Chorus

Broken bowl heart
Don’t make me hold it
Broken bowl heart
I can’t control it
(Broken bowl heart)
I’m spilling again
Broken bowl heart
Don’t let me break in

Bridge

I screamed in the bathroom
So nobody heard
Mirror in pieces
Still giving me words
If I stay this soft
I’ll turn into dust
Hold me together
Or don’t, I’m already too much

Chorus

Broken bowl heart
Now it’s glowing harder
Broken bowl heart
Cut right through the dark
(Broken bowl heart)
I’m loud in the shards
Broken bowl heart
And I still beat hard

Outro

One cracked bowl
Still on the counter
I’m still here
I’m still here
