Protection Spells

You said "I'm sorry" as you went to leave And I lit a match to throw down at your feet Then screamed "Don't come back" as you turned toward the door And I ached as the flames grew up from the floor And I'm tired of going out, and I'm tired of staying in bed And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head The old incantations I kept to myself "I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protection spells I held myself to the sound of my own breath Settled down and slept in the crook of my own neck And I looked out the window and I wondered aloud "Will the sun ever come back? I'm so tired of the clouds" And I'm tired of going out, and I'm tired of staying in bed And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head The old incantations I kept to myself "I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protection spells And I'm tired of going out, and I'm tired of staying in bed And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head The old incantations I kept to myself "I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protection spells
