[Intro]
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

[Verse 1]
Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
Warrior with a zealous heart
Hair like red roses
Those precious copper strings, my love, bring them to me
If you hear bells singing
You'll see Coraline crying
Taking in other people's pain
And then carry it within her

[Bridge]
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline

[Verse 2]
But she knows the truth
Not everyone can carry on
With their heart split in two halves
It's cold already
She's just a kid, but she feels something weighing on her
And sooner or later she'll break
And people will say "she's worth nothing
She can't even walk out of a miserable door"
But one day, someday, she'll make it

And I told Coraline she's allowed to grow up
Collect her things and leave
But she feels a monster is keeping her in a cage
Covers her path with landmines
And I told Coraline she's allowed to grow up
Collect her things and leave
But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no
Yes, Coraline would rather disappear

[Chorus]
And Coraline cries
Coraline has anxiety
Coraline is longing for the sea, but is afraid of the water
And maybe the sea is inside her
Every word is an axe
A stab in the back
Like a raft sailing a swollen river
And maybe the river is inside her, her

[Verse 3]
I'll be the fire and the cold
A winter shelter
I'll be what you breathe
I'll understand what you hold inside
And I'll be the water you drink
The meaning of good
I'll even be a soldier
Or a light in the evening
I ask for nothing in return
Just a smile
Every little tear of yours is an ocean on my face
And I ask for nothing in return
Just a little time
I'll be a battle banner, a shield
Or your silver sword, and

[Chorus]
And Coraline cries
Coraline has anxiety
Coraline is longing for the sea, but is afraid of the water
And maybe the sea is inside her
Every word is an axe
A stab in the back
Like a raft sailing a swollen river
And maybe the river is inside her, her

[Outro]
And tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
She lost the fruit of her womb
She never knew love
She has a father who's nothing like a father
They told her there's a castle in town
With such strong walls
That if you move in
Nothing will ever hurt you again
Nothing will ever hurt you again
