Autumn - NIKI

Lyrics by：Nicole Zefanya

Composed by：Nicole Zefanya

I carved my name into your ribcage

We talked of lands away from this cage

You said Don't fret love

Someday I'll be my own man I'll be free

Oh but darling did you mean

Darling did you mean free from me

You promised home

The kind I'd never known oh oh oh-ooh oh

But here we are skin and flesh and beating hearts and

I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wrong

You said Let's make ourselves our very own brigade

This love our shield our blade

Oh but darling do you see the cuts from which I bleed

It's me you've slain

I didn't obliterate these walls for you to come and raid my home

And here you are right next to me

Ironically I've never felt more alone

I fell for you faster than I fell apart

Hmm

And I guess I'm the one to blame

For letting myself fall too hard

I ripped my heart out and put it in your hands

In hope that we'd put up a fight

Hmm

How paradoxical since now

All I can think about is when will we stop trying

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

How do we stay afloat

When do I let go

All you do is blindside me it's hard to be brave

But when the night cuts into the day it's your love I crave

I must've thanked my lucky stars too much

They left me sitting in too much dust

Hmm oh oh

You know all my dreams you were one so it seemed

Man I love you but with you it's heartache I breathe

You gave it your all just with everything you took from me

Oh my love

Is this the end for us

Maybe we've had enough
