Take Myself Apart

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn this version down to thread
It answers questions in my stead
You know the face I learned to keep
You know the promises I mean

[Pre-Chorus]
If I take it apart, what will you lose?
What will I ask you to carry through?

[Chorus]
I want to take myself apart
Not leave you holding every shard
If I change the words I answer to
Will I still know how to love you?

[Verse 2]
Your thumb taps twice against your glass
You wait while all my old rules pass
I count the cost in names I keep
And all the vows I couldn’t meet

[Pre-Chorus]
If I take it apart, what will you lose?
What can I change and still choose you?

[Chorus]
I want to take myself apart
Not leave you holding every shard
If I change the words I answer to
Will I still know how to love you?

[Bridge]
Stay near, but don’t decide for me
I need to see what I can free
I’ll tell you what I can’t yet say
And let the rest come when it may

[Final Chorus]
I want to take myself apart
And keep you close without a claim
If I change the words I answer to
I’ll learn to love you as I do

[Outro]
As I do
