You swore you could never hate me now you don’t even call
And i felt my bones break from the height of the fall
I hate when they ask how the songs are coming along
When i still have the stains from laying on your lawn
And i don’t know you now
Maybe i never did
Maybe i’d rather you hate me than this indifference
And if anyone asks i wouldn’t change a thing i did
But i could grow to love it here
If they clear out all the ghosts
If the vines that box me in
Don’t find thеir way around my throat
And i could love to grow up here
If i didn’t jump at еvery shadow
But i’m stuck chasing the real thing
Just to realise you’re just a scarecrow
You’re just a scarecrow
Were you laughing it off or just laughing along?
You played me your favourite song and got half of the words wrong
That halloween, we matched and you swore it was a trick
But elle said it took you three whole weeks to plan it
Tripping over my words just to fall on my own sword
My guitar gathers dust while i bleed out on the floor
And all you had to say was you wish you wanted me more
And i could grow to love it here
If they clear out all the ghosts
If the vines that box me in
Don’t find their way around my throat
And i could love to grow up here
If i didn’t jump at every shadow
But i’m stuck chasing the real thing
Just to realise you’re just a scarecrow
Brush it off, clean me up
I’m just another mess you can pretend not to judge
All the bones in your garden
Hide away underground while you make friends with a shotgun
Make it quick, make it clean
Make it kinder than i deserve it to be
Smile too wide, grit your teeth
Could you love me if i could let you leave?
I could grow to love it here
If they clear out all the ghosts
If the vines that box me in
Don’t find their way around my throat
And i could love to grow up here
If i didn’t jump at every shadow
But i’m stuck chasing the real thing
Just to realise you’re just a scarecrow
You’re just a scarecrow
You’re just a scarecrow
You’re just a
