"Statues" lyrics - NINA NESBITT

You're just a statue
Of the boy I used to know
You're just a tattoo
Of the words that we once spoke
You're the dry river
Where love used to flow
But it still runs through me
With you it had to go

[Pre-Chorus:]
But if you take this back, I'll be waiting to
Come alive, come alive
If you turn your back, I'll be waiting to fly

[Chorus:]
But you're like the falling leaves
Whilst I'm still the oak tree
'Cause you're the one to leave
Now I'm falling asleep
You're like the broken keys
Whilst I'm just a broken home
'Cause as I breathe in deep
You're looking at me like a statue
Of the boy I used to know

You're just a lighter
With no fuel to light the flames
You know I'll fight for this
But you wouldn't do the same
'Cause you're just a diary
With a blank and empty page
But the story we wrote
I can't quite erase

[Pre-Chorus:]
But if you take this back, I'll be waiting to
Come alive, I'll come alive
If you turn your back, I'll be waiting to fly

[Chorus:]
But you're like the falling leaves
Whilst I'm still the oak tree
'Cause you're the one that leaves
Now I'm falling asleep
You're like the broken keys
Whilst I'm just a broken home
'Cause as I breathe in deep
You're looking at me like a statue
Of the boy I used to know

[Bridge:]
Oh, won't you fall to the ground?
'Cause there's just stone in your eyes now
We had it all 'til we were found
We're just living these lies now

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're like the falling leaves
Whilst I'm still the oak tree
'Cause you're the one to leave
Now I'm falling asleep
'Cause you're like the broken keys
Whilst I'm just a broken home
And I breathe in deep
As I watch you leave, you're the statue
Of the boy I used to know
