The Shell - Rose Cousins

What is it you want from me

Is there something that I can’t see

All my words are broken on the ground

It gets so hard to talk to you

You’re covered in this shell you grew

It’s like you do and don’t want me around

You stand by a castle moat

Reading everything I wrote

Looking for the sharks to pull you in

I sit on the banks and call

Reading how to kill them all

Looking for the way to talk you down

Maybe it’d be easier

If you felt the same for her

Then your heart could rest and want no more

I want someone to hold me near

And it will not be you my dear

Do you think you can ever let me go

It gets so hard to talk to you

You’re covered in this shell you grew

It’s like you do and don’t want me around
