Statues - 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
