Verse 1
I try to be kind
But it cuts instead
I open my mouth
And the rainbow turns grey
Verse 2
I try to let in
But I push away
The connection I seek
It shatters, it breaks
Chorus
Must be a curse
Or something worse
Every time I try
It just ends in hurt
I meant it well
But it never lands
I’m left here holding
Ashes in my hands
Must be a curse
Or something worse
Verse 3
I try to make up
And I let you down
I want us to heal
But I bruise you again
Chorus
Must be a curse
Or something worse
Every time I try
It just ends in hurt
I meant it well
But it never lands
I’m left here holding
Ashes in my hands
Must be a curse
Or something worse
Bridge
Now, it’s like the fear in me
Keeps getting the best of me
I don’t know how to turn this
When my hands undo
What my heart builds
Chorus
Must be a curse
Or something worse
Every time I try
It just ends in hurt
I meant it well
But it never lands
I’m left here holding
Ashes in my hands
Must be a curse
Or something worse
