The 19th Step

(verse)
We smile and hug and say hello 
And it feels almost  genuine 
You ask how I am
I say I'm doing fine
Then you say, so  are you
But 
For the rest of the day 
Our faces are turned away 
Looking for excuses 
To be in other rooms

[Chorus]
I looked up to you
Thought you would 
Rescue me
I looked up to you
Thought you could 
Be my heroine 

(Verse)
She's behind cold glass now
Fogging up the window 
Etching onto her breath an S.O.S.
And some smiley faces

(Verse)
She watched till Frosty lost his eyes
And his nose stuck out the ground
She watched till all the snow melted Into bees and honeysickle trees 

[Chorus]
I looked up to you 
Thought you would rescue me
I looked up to you
Thought you could  
Be my heroine 

(verse)
Holding on to this animosity 
It holds me oh... so tight
Still searching in the dark 
For a night light

[verse]
Reaching out to find  
That it's only me in here
Needing to let go of it
I'm freeing up my hands of things
To save myself so that I can
Grow out of being stagnant 

(Last verse)
I'm freeing up my lips from
Words like... forgive me
Saving my life source energy

(Bridge)
Im becoming who I'm meant to be

(Outro)
Letting go of a well-deserved apology because
I deserved so much more
And I've been here before

[chorus]
I looked up to you 
Thought you would rescue me
I looked up to you 
Thought you could 
Be my herooo o oo
