lyrics

I know what you are you’re not the tide, you’re the wind
blowing me about, tearing me limb from limb
I thought we were safe, I thought you’d carry me always
you pull up the earth, you toss the ground in my face

but you can’t hurt me now you can’t hurt me now

chewing up the dirt something has died in my chest
something I held for you, buried deep in my breast
you take what you want then talk as if it was nothing
as if you didn’t know my heart was in your hands burning

but you can’t hurt me now you can’t hurt me now

you can love whoever you like
I no longer think of you as mine
you can love whoever you like
I no longer think of you as mine
