I open my eyes but I'm not breathing,
I reach for your arm as you lay bleeding,
In the snow,
So many lies we keep believing,
I wanna try but it's not that easy,
You know,
Am I just weak or is this just hard,
Can I speak or did you take my voice when you took my heart,
Am I weak or is this just hard,
Can I speak, can I speak, can I speak,
I search for your eyes as the news seeps in,
You light me with fire put out by weeping,
Cold tones,
So many rhymes we're always repeating,
I wanna try but you can't keep me,
Alone,
Am I just weak or is this just hard,
Can I speak or did you take my voice when you took my heart,
Am I weak or is this just hard,
Can I speak, can I speak, can I speak,
This city is wild and I'm tame in my own ways,
An obedient child in a cold bar on a rainy day,
I wait for you to walk in with your knowing embrace,
Our February blizzard starts to feel like a hurricane,
Am I just weak or is this just hard,
Can I speak or did you take my voice when you took my heart,
Am I weak or is this just hard,
Can I speak, can I speak, can I speak,
Can I speak, can I speak, can I speak,
