Reminders of the past can keep you from getting as close as you want to.

lyrics

You reach out, I pull away
I know I told you I was here to stay
Backwards and moving fast
And here I thought that we were gonna last

I started sleeping with a light on
Cause you feel like him in the dark
I hear you whispering it's over but I've still been marked

I can't touch you anymore
It's not the same, it's not the same
I can't touch you anymore
There's still mercury in my veins, my veins
Mercury, it's breaking me
Mercury, it's breaking me

You're out there, I feel you now
Keeping you farther than my arms can reach out
The cold air and flashbacks
How could I know that I was the attack?

I started sleeping with a light on
Cause you feel like him in the dark
I hear you whispering it's over but I've still been marked

I can't touch you anymore
It's not the same, it's not the same
I can't touch you anymore
There's still mercury in my veins, my veins
Mercury, it's breaking me
Mercury, it's breaking me

And the ground is so much softer down here
But the vines are growing over me
If I lay down I know I'll disappear
And my sorrows with me

I started sleeping with a light on
Cause you feel like him in the dark
I hear you whispering it's over but I've still been marked

I can't touch you anymore
It's not the same, it's not the same
I can't touch you anymore
There's still mercury in my veins, my veins
Mercury, it's breaking me
Mercury, it's breaking me
