Scarecrow
Alex & Sierra Lyrics

I'm standin' still without you
I am motionless and stuck in one place without you

In the emptiest of fields
In the loneliest and most barren places

I wish that I could say what's on my mind
I desire to express my thoughts and feelings to you

The straw that fills your heart
The insulation that you use to protect your heart from pain

So you never have to feel
So you can avoid experiencing emotional pain

You say that you just need a little time
You claim that you require only a brief period of time

Days like these I bury my
During these times, I bury

My each and every word
Each and every one of my words and thoughts

And hide them underneath these lonely trees
And conceal them amid these solitary trees

The harvest moon is wicked
The moon is ominous and foreboding

I know that you've been hurt
I am aware that you have suffered

I swear I'm here for good I'll never leave
I promise that I am staying here for good and will never abandon you

This is where it starts tonight
Tonight is the beginning of our journey

If you open up your heart tonight
If you allow yourself to be emotionally vulnerable tonight

You're staring out the window
You are gazing vacantly out of the window

And I'm out here in the street
And I am out in the street

You stand there like a scarecrow
You are motionless and expressionless, like a scarecrow

And I'm begging you to speak
And I am imploring you to express yourself

You used to be my solid ground
You used to be my reliable and dependable source of support

Now I'm drowning in the sea
Now I am overwhelmed and struggling to stay afloat

And I just want to believe in you and me
And I simply want to have faith in our relationship

You used to be so full of life
You used to have so much energy and vitality

Not just an empty shell
But now it seems like you are just a lifeless and hollow version of yourself

You're out there all alone I wonder why
You are out there by yourself, and I am curious as to why

The pieces keep on falling out
The parts of you keep on disintegrating and disappearing

And I pick them up myself
And I am the one who has to put them back together again

But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes
But I would let you take anything from me, even if it harms me

You said you'd open up for me
You promised that you would allow me to see your true emotions

Well nothing's what it seems to be
But it turns out that you were not being truthful with me

How can I make you feel again
How can I help you to experience emotions once more

Only you can make me real again
Only you have the ability to help me feel truly alive again
