Lyrics

Shape Shifter

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I heard you don't believe in God anymore

I heard you fell out of love

I heard you don't call back home anymore

Heard you replaced all of us

But my hands still shake just the same

I've got no one to blame just the same

I'm still lying on the floor the same place

As before we wandered separate ways

And I never had anything more than this, just take it

I thought I told you

I'd only break your heart if I had to

Is that what friends do?

I thought you swore you knew, I could've sworn you knew

With every shifting shape

And every shade of gray we made

I wasn't sure that I could wait

I thought you swore you wouldn't wait

Tell me how much you've changed tell I'm still to blame

Tell me how much you missed me last month

Tell me all about what keeps you up at night

Tell me you're too tired, you're too tired to fight

But don't say that you're only interested

In going all the way back to what this was

All the way back to a different us

And I never had anything more than this, just take it

I thought I told you

I'd only break your heart if I had to

Is that what friends do?

I thought you swore you knew, I could've sworn you knew

With every shifting shape

And every shade of gray we made

I wasn't sure that I could wait

I thought you swore you wouldn't wait
