Dwell - Odette

I don’t want to say sorry for leaving and hurting you

'Cause it’s never just sorry, it’s conflict passing as truth

I’m tired of going out dancing and smoking 'til my lips are blue

I’m getting high to hide the lows

It’s what I do when I’m alone

Now I stand by the mirror and my fingers are shaking

Lights that flicker in darkness

They show me I’m changing

And there’s a kind of elation

When my heart starts racing

I’m getting high to hide the lows

It’s what I do when I’m alone

Feel like I haven’t come home yet

But I convince myself

It’s just temporary heartache

Say 'I'm doing fine'

But you can tell

I can’t help but dwell

Now watch me, on the ceiling, as my body floats

And my head’s underwater, with seaweed around my throat

But then I double down heaving

I will always leave when I can tell I’m 'bout to blow

I’m getting high to hide the lows

It’s what I do when I’m alone

Feel like I haven’t come home yet

But I convince myself

It’s just temporary heartache

Say 'I'm doing fine'

But you can tell

I can’t help but dwell

Eyes are closed, it’s hard to see

I loved when you held onto me

But I forgot just how to breathe

Your touch is just a memory

This different person, jagged smile

That loved and lost and over time

Had dwindled to a dwelling sigh

And now I wonder who am I?

Feel like I haven’t come home yet

But I convince myself

It’s just temporary heartache

Say 'I'm doing fine'

But you can tell

I can’t help but dwell
