"Marble Arch" lyrics

"Marble Arch"

When I came back from the dead
The first thing they said
Was, "You've never looked better"
Every compliment
Went rushing to my head
As my heart kept weakening

This body used to be my home now it's just an homage
A souvenir I gave to everyone I love
The walls of my heart look like museum corridors
The love that I gave you was art in my form
But I'm scared if I learn to be happy
I'll forget how to write songs

Am I hard to love?
Am I cold to touch?
Am I? Am I? Am I?
Is there a fault in my core?
Did I do something wrong?
Did I? Did I? Did I?

I am breaking my back, bending to your heart
My spine curves against your fingertips
Like a marble arch
I try to make the ache something beautiful to watch
I'm a statue you can pray to
You complain I'm cold to touch

I am hard to love
Not what you thought
Am I? Am I? Am I?
Is there a fault in my core?
Did I do something wrong?
Did I? Did I? Did I?

There is no more love in my bones
This body was my home
This body was my own before I knew you
Now I'm hard to love
Am I cold to touch?
Am I? Am I? Am I?

'Cause I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
A pile of bones you try to love
A pile of bones
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
I don't wanna be cold anymore
