Lyrics of Autumn by NIKI
verse
I carved my name into your ribcage
We talked of lands away from this cage
You said, "Don't fret love, someday I'll be my own man, I'll be free"
Oh, but darlin' did you mean, darlin', did you mean free from me?
verse
You promised home
The kind I'd never known, oh
But here we are, skin and flesh and beating hearts
And I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wrong
verse
You said, "Let's make ourselves our very own brigade
This love our shield, our blade"
Oh, but darlin', do you see the cuts from which I bleed?
It's me you've slain
verse
I didn't obliterate these walls for you
To come and raid my home
And here you are right next to me
Ironically, I've never felt more alone
verse
I fell for you faster than I fell apart
And I guess I'm the one to blame
For letting myself fall too hard
I ripped my heart out and put it in your hands
In hopes that we'd put up a fight
verse
How paradoxical
Since now all I can think about
Is when will we stop trying
Oh
bridge
Oh-oh-oh
How do we stay afloat?
When do I let go?
verse
All you do is blindside me, it's hard to be brave
But when the night cuts into the day, it's your love I crave
I must've thanked my lucky stars too much
They left me sitting in too much dust, mmm, oh
verse
You know all my dreams
You were one, so it seemed
And I love you but with you
It's heartache I breathe
You gave it your all
Just with everything you took from me
outro
Oh, my love
Is this the end for us?
Maybe we've had enough
