it waxes and wanes Lyrics

Before you came to visit me

I had the worst dream

You were sadder than I was

When I turned thirteen

I woke up to the first alarm

Afraid that I would harm

Your fragile frame

Now that things can't be the same

It waxes and wanes

You can look at my face and

Tell me it's okay to change

And maybe I won't blame myself again today

Blame myself

Ooh

Before my green shifted to red

You played inside my head

The silent melody

Of a true friend

I flew west into your life

I know that we've always been alike

You'll say that, now I've got you

And you've got me too

It waxes and wanes

You can

Look me in the face

I'm not afraid to give myself the grace to change

Then maybe I won't hate myself again today

Hate myself again today

'Cause it waxes and wanes

Before I moved away

I sat with you for days

You said, I'm so happy for you

Making a great escape

But now I've made some big mistakes

I hope I didn't break

Your heart by being me

Minus all the things I really need

It waxes and wanes

My heart has growing pains

But I want to recognize my face

I'll give myself the grace

'Cause it

Waxes and wanes

Ooh, it waxes

And wanes

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, oh, oh

Ooh
