Lyrics

[Verse 1] September 29th, 1984, dear so-and-so Gather me up because I'm lost or I'm back where I started from I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground I might cry , I won't go home [Verse 2] So here's the story, I am turning up in circles And I'm spinning on my knuckles Don't forget that there are circles left undone Very close to me [Refrain] Forgive me Comfort me [Verse 3] I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground There's a blanket wrapped around my head I'm moving in a line, it's shaped like this I'm, I'm holding in my breath, I have a room Can you tell if I am lying? [Verse 4] Don't forget that I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet A box inside my chest, an animal stuffed with my frustration, Can you hear me? Don't forget that I'm alone when you're away You make me act like other people do [Refrain] Forgive me Comfort me You comfort me You make me die I'm gonna cry I won't go home [Verse 4] Don't kill the God of Sadness, just don't let her get you down See, the man inside a book I read can't handle his own head So what the hell am I supposed to do? I'd like to know how he died My hands are shaking, don't you love me anymore? [Verse 5] I only need a person, keep my shoulders, Stand around Lie down, move your hand above the floor Gather me up because I'm lost or I'm back where I started from Crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground I'm gonna cry, you look for me Love, Kristin, P.S. Keep them coming
