Never felt so held
Scared of what I felt
Loved for who I am
Breaking from the shell
Breaking (breaking, breaking)
From the shell
Breaking (breaking, breaking)
From the shell
Breaking
From the shell
From the...
Breaking
From the shell
From the...
On a hot day in June
I fell in love with blue
His love was sharp and visceral
His gain ruthless
And his poison as deep as an ocean that's bent on killing you
Even though water is full of air
With us, breathing was never the point
In the fall I met a man who couldn't be anything other than red
All fire and roses and lips and love
Everything he touched burnt and bent to his passion
One day I met the one whose love was green
His arms a forest of peace
And his mind like a tree that never learned to stop growing
The sound of his understanding
Made me hear myself
Clearer and clearer everyday
Today I am no longer a tempest in a teapot
My wings of furious weather need new skies to stretch
My muscles are sore from holding myself back
I will spill over this world and overflow
I'm all that I can become
Breaking, breaking, breaking
From my shell, my shell
Breaking, breaking, breaking
Oooh
Breaking, breaking, breaking
From my shell, my shell
Breaking, breaking, breaking
Breaking, breaking
Breaking, breaking, breaking
