lyrics

What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to do?
I ran to the arms of loneliness
But woke up in the cold blue
I will seek out solitude
Its what they tell you to do
But all I really need, all I really need, all I really need
Is to be warm with you

There are days when the sickness Is as thick as all we consume
There are seasons that challenge us like ravenous racoons
Just to wade through the marsh of your heart in this refuge
Finding was to start is the hardest part of finding you

But if you’re gonna take my heart
Be careful with the fragile parts
Its been left along far too long

Bury it in the softer snow
So you can watch the garden grow
As I unpack all that’s gone wrong…

What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to do?
