Tiny Furnace

(album: Everything But What You Need - 2015)

That dress you wore the day we went over the train tracks: I want that day back
You said God wasn't in the sky and there was nothing I could do or say to change your mind

But I didn't want to change it

You're a tiny furnace and I'm the coal you're burning
Can't you see I can't douse the flame, things will never be the same
You're a tiny furnace and I'm the coal you're burning
Can't you see I can't douse the flame, but two can play at this game

Your blonde hair on the bed the same one your mother caught me in
Those stars stuck to your ceiling seemed so out of reach, and I let them keep me up while you were fast asleep

And I know I panicked, and I'm sorry

You're a tiny furnace and I'm the coal you're burning
Can't you see I can't douse the flame, things will never be the same
You're a tiny furnace and I'm the coal you're burning
Can't you see I can't douse the flame, but two can play at this game

I got scared that you were too much, you were too much
I got scared that I wasn't enough, wasn't enough
I pretended that you didn't exist, you didn't exist
That's something I never would wish, never would wish....
