When I finally get home from the things of the day
I say hello to the stranger in my house
It must be nice to be somebody else
And I slip into something he might
Regard as beautiful
We wanna be beautiful.
But masks can hide who we really are
But never can they fully erase all the scars
When the lights go down
And my fears get the best of me
Will you care to see through my disguise?
Know the girl behind wide eyes?
Behind the mask.
This is killing me.
How bad I want you.
How I can’t tell you
It’s gotta be a secret.
I don’t expect you
To just sit here
Wait for me to figure myself out
It could take a lifetime,
But right now you’re all I want,
And it’s so crazy,
Intentionally mistaken,
Goodnight, goodbye,
I leave you for my dreams of you,
I whisper to your ghost in my head,
And forget how to talk to you.
And it’s so crazy.
And I’m so crazy.
And I’m so sorry.
Your hand touched my hand,
Don’t say it was, an accident, honey,
I felt the friction, felt the heat,
That you radiate, baby,
It wasn’t an accident.
Trying to find your heart
Trying to find a way, to make you mine,
Trying to find your heart
But it’s hard in the dark.
Light me up, til I’m just a flame,
Keep burning for you, burning for you
Light me up, make me see again,
I’ve got nothing to do, nothing to do,
But burn for you.
You kissed the match between my fingers,
Please don’t be full of smoke.
You kissed the match between my fingers.
Light me up, til I’m just a flame,
Keep burning for you, burning for you
Light me up, make me see again,
I’ve got nothing to do, nothing to do,
But burn for you.
Your hand touched my hand,
Don’t say it was, an accident, honey,
I felt the friction, felt the heat,
That you radiate, baby,
It wasn’t an accident.
Light me up, til I’m just a flame,
Keep burning for you, burning for you
Light me up, make me see again,
I’ve got nothing to do, nothing to do,
But burn for you.
Pick fights with those who
Are different from you
Don’t try and understand
They move in circles and you
Never get the point of it
Stand back, let us blow you away
I’ve got that poison high
Stand back, listen what I say
It all comes out tonight.
We don’t want to be the anti-you
You do that on your own
I don’t need another enemy
You don’t have to be the anti-me.
But you try.
You swear
The outcomes worth the damage done
But they’re not all that convinced.
Hide the blood with your empty eyes,
Did you think we wouldn’t get to the bottom of it?
Stand back, let us blow you away
I’ve got that poison high
Stand back, listen what I say
It all comes out tonight.
We don’t want to be the anti-you
You do that on your own
I don’t need another enemy
You don’t have to be the anti-me.
But you try.
Oh, try, try, try, again
The ashes all fall down.
Try, try, try, and purge my skin,
But there’s just too much I’ll never live it down.
Oh, try try try, again.
The ashes all fall down.
Try, try, try and purge my skin,
But there’s just too much, there’s just too much,
It’s just too much.
We don’t want to be the anti-you
You do that on your own
I don’t need another enemy
You don’t have to be the anti-me.
But you try.
My eyes are still just as open
As the day that we first met
I wasn’t fooling myself into thinking
This was going to be healthy for me
I can’t tell if you’re broken
Cause you never look too well
I wasn’t fooling myself into thinking
This was going to be healthy.
Don’t pretend like I’m dying without you
Cause until you said it
I didn’t know you weren’t there
I guess you were never really there at all then.
It’s just as clear to me now
That you never really figured it out
You were pretending
To be well aware
It’s just as mixed up
As the day we called it off
I wasn’t pretending
I would be fine.
Don’t pretend like I’m dying without you
Cause until you said it
I didn’t know you weren’t there
I guess you were never really there at all then.
If it helps you sleep to know I’m always awake,
Then dream it.
Then dream it.
If it helps you sleep to know I’m always awake,
Then dream it.
Then dream it.
Don’t pretend like I’m dying without you
Cause until you said it
I didn’t know you weren’t there
I guess you were never really there at all then.
I wasn’t prepared for an all out ambush
I wasn’t aware I’d be under attack
I stepped into the clearing and cupid caught sight of me
Just as I was learning my way back.
This rope that has tied me
From the waist to your heart
I’m finding it easier to keep from falling apart
Your enemy lines are too blurred in the sand
I raise the white flag and I give you my hand.
All is fair in love and war
But maybe it’s all just the same
We fight for our peace
It’s a catch twenty two
When you forget what you started fighting for.
Here, is the boundary
The risk that you take
The real world connection they warned it would make
You’re losing the battles,
They swore that you’d lose,
Only one arrow left,
And so many victims to choose.
Your enemy lines are too blurred in the sand
I raise the white flag and I give you my hand.
All is fair in love and war
But maybe it’s all just the same
We fight for our peace
It’s a catch twenty two
When you forget what you started fighting for.
It’s the way, you,
Steal my breath,
It’s the sight of you,
Makes me take that last step,
I’d fight til the death,
If you were on my side.
All is fair in love and war
But maybe it’s all just the same
We fight for our peace
It’s a catch twenty two
When you forget what you started fighting for.
All is fair in love and war
But maybe it’s all just the same
We fight for our peace
It’s a catch twenty two
When you forget what you started fighting for.
All is fair in love and war,
But maybe it’s all just the same…
I’m sure every tongue you ever tasted was sweeter than my blunt knife
You don’t remind me of those things, but to my heart it’s implied.
All the ways, you count to get here,
And still I find, myself alone.
It’s up and down,
This love of life,
At least for me,
It’s black and white.
I don’t know how to hold on,
I’m not that strong,
Are you that strong?
Don’t you know that your palm has got my heart
Don’t squeeze too tight, don’t squeeze too tightly,
Don’t you know that your heart has got my heart
Don’t let me fall away, when I fall for you
I’m sure every word they’ve whispered you’ve heard a billion times,
But tell me have you ever kissed scars like mine?
All the ways I count to get there,
And I still find myself alone.
I don’t know how to hold on,
I’m not that strong,
Are you that strong?
Don’t you know that your palm has got my heart
Don’t squeeze too tight, don’t squeeze too tightly,
Don’t you know that your heart has got my heart
Don’t let me fall away, when I fall for you
I’m falling…
And I don’t know how to stop.
