Heart of My Own Lyrics

Heart of My Own by Basia Bulat
a mystery to me so don't know if they're right. Have no idea what she says 9th line in chorus.
Intro: Em Bm C Am Em
Verse:
Under that burning ether that falls
down on these walls burning my arms
I've been alarmed when I sat by you
For every word I could undo
I've been uncrossed and I've been untrue
I've been the thorn I've been the heart
Chorus:
The heart of my own
burn it down low
the light in your verse
and the shadow between
the way that I was when I used to know
if I go what do I hope
For the maid or the mother I'll be
If only the loom and a thread would hold
It is work to be ? out here
Tomorrow I'm mending the empty bones
There are roses that come without seeking
They are the ones that I have to sow
In your verses that I am repeating
The way that I was when I used to know
Instrumental:
Breakdown:
I wrote on these walls a simple charm
To keep the wolves at bay
Gave of a heart the strength of my arms
To hold you close and safe
But I kept my eyes closed and I'll never know
Where the shadows are these days
I stood in the room of a house divided
Ah and it washed away from me
It washed away from me
Oh and it washed away from me
It washed away...
Chorus:
...to take my own
burn it down low
the light in your verse
and the shadow between
the way that I was when I used to know
if I go what do I hope
For the maid or the mother I'll be
If only the loom and a thread would hold
It is work to be ? out here
Tomorrow I'm mending the empty bones
There are roses that come without seeking
They are the ones that I have to sow
In your verses that I am repeating
The way that I was when I used to know
