What Beats Within

Everyday the same mistake The pieces don't fit, how I guess Worn so thin and caving in Frozen between a no and yes I'm sliding from sometime Ripping in two The memory planted I'm just what grew You come to find me, a mess at your door Arms under elbows as I hit the floor I mean to tell you just what I've done How could you choose me when I've just begun? Don't know what I'll be when morning comes Every night the sheets pulled tight I'm sinking before I begin Silent as the light goes black And digging to see what beats within I'm sliding from sometime Ripping in two A mountain of ashes I'm just like you You come to find me, a mess at your door Arms under elbows as I hit the floor I mean to tell you just what I've done How could you choose me when I've just begun? Don't know what I'll be when morning comes You come to find me, a mess at your door Arms under elbows as I hit the floor I mean to tell you just what I've done How could you choose me when I've just begun? Don't know what I'll be when morning Don't know what I'll be when morning Don't know what I'll be when morning comes --- What Beats Within - Jenny Owen Youngs
