Stitches

Dm
Five words, five words is all it would take.
Five words to change your heart and mind.
In the heat of the sun I know you’re the only one.
                Gm              Bb         
You still cant’ hold yourself together.

Dm, Bb

Dm                                    Bb             Am                 G        F     Dm
Alone… Alone… All alone you have this conversation to satisfy your most intimate inner thoughts.
                              Bb
Then you bite your lip when it matters most.
               Am
A shade of red in sight.
                         G     
Can you taste the blood?
         F        Dm
Taste it on your lips.

(Chorus)
Dm
Rip the seam.
           Bb      F                           G 
Then I’ll show you how the strings become the stitches in your mouth.
Dm                     Bb
In your silence we are louder.
F                            G               Dm
When the strings become the stitches in your mouth.

Dm             Bb           Am                       G       F          Dm
Your growing imagination preparing you for what your heart requires to say.
                              Bb
Then you bit your lip when it matters most.
                 Am
A shade of red in sight.
                        G          F        Dm
Can you taste the blood? Taste it on your lips.
