There's a woman in the mirror wearing my mouth She does the talking now, I just watch her move She knows the script, she knows where the laughter goes She loves the people I forgot how to I've been bleeding quietly for so long I think I just call it living now I used to bring whole gardens to your door I show up empty and I don't know how I would give you anything If giving was a thing I still could do But baby, hollow isn't free And nobody told me — nobody told me I'm down to marrow Down to bone I gave the rest away And I went home alone You can take what's left of me If you take it nice and slow But there's nothing in this body Nothing in this body Nothing left to know There's a kindness in admitting you're a ruin Before you ruin everyone you touch I smile until the muscle starts to cramp I say I'm fine and bite my fucking tongue The cruelty isn't running out of water It's the way you keep on offering the cup The way you measure love in what it costs you The way you call collapse "showing up" I would give you anything If giving was a thing I still could do But baby, hollow isn't free And nobody told me — nobody told me I'm down to marrow Down to bone I gave the rest away And I went home alone You can take what's left of me If you take it nice and slow But there's nothing in this body Nothing in this body Nothing left to know Maybe love was never the well Maybe it was the bucket And mine just rusted through While I wasn't looking While I was busy being Everything you needed While I was busy Disappearing Where do I go When there's nothing left to give Where do I GO When the giving was the only way I lived Tell me where I go Tell me where I GO 'Cause the woman that I was Is gone — she's gone — she's GONE I'm down to marrow Down to bone And maybe that's the only Honest thing I own You can take what's left of me If you take me as I am Not the gift, not the grace Just the woman who is left Just the woman who is left
