Outline by Kayak Jones Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You handed me a canvas and said
"Why don't you paint yourself instead?"
These lines just won't intersect
I'm struggling to cope with this, and it's killing me
I can't see the hues in anything
Pull my skin back again
I'll show you were it all began

[Chorus]
Yes, it hurt when I watched your eyes avert
And you said you'd never throw it all away
And you fell away

[Verse 2]
And I'm retracing everything as I feel my lungs collapse
From trying to etch these feelings across my chest
Would it make you care if I just left?
Tear my skin back again
I hate that you're indifferent
[Chorus]
Yes, it hurt when I watched your eyes avert
And you said you'd never throw it all away
And you fell away

[Bridge]
And it's cold and I'm awake
Feel the blood push past these veins
And you'll say, "You'll be okay"
And I'm trying to let this go, but your name's carved in my throat
For three years you tortured your soul
I'm nameless from this all

[Chorus]
Yes, it hurt
(Yes, it hurt)
And you said you'd never throw it all away
And you fell away
