Callused (nic demo)

[Verse 1]

Hands are callused

'Cause I’ve been carrying my baggage

My knuckles white

I'm holding tight

[Chorus]

'Cause I let "I love you"

Slip off my lips

It stained my tongue, it’s only permanent

[Verse 2]

I must've talked way more than I thought

I loosened up the screws on my jaw

You cried the river that made us sink

And I knew better

I wrote you letters

What a waste of ink

[Chorus]

'Cause I let "I love you"

Slip off my lips

It stained my tongue, it's only permanent

[Verse 3]

It felt like waterfalls

Crashing down on all I thought I was

I just, I just

Wanted to show you

The cloud of dust I breathed in

Lit up by the evening

Questioning what happens if I slip?

I made a puzzle with the pieces

And none of them broke even

But I still found a way to make them fit

[Chorus]

'Cause I let "I love you"

Slip off my lips

It stained my tongue, it's only permanent

'Cause I let "I love you"

Slip off my lips

It stained my tongue, it's only permanent
