All lyrics written by Stephanie Gummelt.

I see photogenic couples and their hands intertwined 

examining my own through crystal violet eyes 

I'm ingrained, I am stained red

Is this how two people ought to treat each other dear?

I'd never call you baby to your face cuz you wouldn't want to hear it 

So I face my mouth the other way 

​

Oh,

My pain is yours, my gain is yours 

I won't let you dance with me if you're not captivated

My things aren't yours, and my dreams aren't yours 

But I will love all you carry with you and hold you for it 

But I don't want to hold anymore

I want to be held 

​

I am not aiming for perfection, I'm for faith and lots of patience

I want to laugh and so do you

You're not dead and you're not different 

Loosen up, I care about you
