Are these pieces of you?
You never show
Now I'll never know
You needed to
Get high just to prove
You′ve got control
And I wanna believe it
The faces we put on our scars
And then they let me down
I'm famous for my flaws and scars
I'll take them lying down
And I′ve got nothing left to prove
I′ve been left alone all my time spent in my head
Try defending all my sins
And if you could only know my body language
We could hold conversations
I've been patient
Leave me out
All these things that we do
They help us grow
Just let me go
You needed me to
Get clean just for you
We never spoke
We never address this true
The faces we put on our scars
And then they let me down
I′m famous for my flaws and scars
It's such a heavy crown
When they all got eyes on you
I′ve been left alone all my time spent in my head
Try defending all my sins
And if you could only know my body language
We could hold conversations
I've been patient
You said you′re running out
I don't want to believe it
You said you've grown it
You know I won′t
You said I let you down
I don′t want to believe it
I know I won't
I′ve been left alone all my time spent in my head
Try defending all my sins
And if you could only know my body language
We could hold conversations
I've been patient
I′ve been left alone all my time spent in my head
Try defending all my sins
And if you could only know my body language
We could hold conversations
I've been patient
The lyrics of Balance and Composure's "Body Language" discuss the difficulty of communication and understanding within a relationship when both parties are dealing with their own individual struggles. The singer is questioning whether their partner is being completely honest with them and whether they truly understand each other. There is a struggle for control, with one partner feeling the need to get high to prove their control and the other waiting patiently to be understood. The power dynamic is further explored with the mention of scars, flaws, and the heavy crown of being famous for them.
There is a sense of frustration as the singer feels alone in their own head, defending their own sins, and waiting for their partner to truly comprehend their body language. There is also a sense of resignation as the singer realizes that they cannot force their partner to see things from their perspective, ultimately accepting their fate and continuing to wait patiently.
Overall, "Body Language" delves into the complexities of communication and understanding in relationships, highlighting the difficulty of truly knowing someone's thoughts and emotions.
