You're Not You Anymore - Counterparts

A garden grew between us in the love we lived without

Remaining faithful to the flood, our tears have purpose in a drought

Tread lightly so footprints can’t disturb the bed we’ve made

With restlessness reserved for both the bodies it contains

Aim your sharpest arrow at the center of my chest

A memorial to signify the sense of helplessness

We dare not mourn our past lives, our loss will be reborn

Because I couldn’t love who you were but you’re not you anymore

Sew your skeleton to mine, I’m no good on my own

Stitch yourself to either side of me so I will never be alone

We mend our past mistakes as a symbol that we’ve grown

So we no longer place our weight on top of broken bones

Mark an end to aimless roaming with a double-sided knife

If we develop eyes for others, may we both be stripped of sight

Liken our divide to partitions in the earth

Wrapped in walls of vines, growing out of common ground

A garden grew between us

Our tears have purpose in a drought

Sew your skeleton to mine, I’m no good on my own

Stitch yourself to either side of me so I will never be alone

We mend our past mistakes as a symbol that we’ve grown

So we no longer place our weight on top of broken bones

Mark an end to aimless roaming

With a double-sided knife

Taking steps towards each other

We could end both our lives

(And that’d be fine)

Aim your sharpest arrow at the center of my chest

A memorial to signify the sense of helplessness

We dare not mourn our past lives, our loss will be reborn

I couldn’t love who you were but you’re not you anymore
