Lyrics
stuck outside my own life
like a dog tied to a lamppost
drown in the dark so i can feel anything
other than disgust
i am alone, i am alive, i am afraid to breathe
i am afraid to show you something you don’t wanna see
but would you wanna see me, in your sweatshirt
waiting in your bedroom?
your expression
leaves me guessing
won’t learn my lesson
not to mention
some contention
for your attention
i’m ripping paper again
can’t find the seatbelt when you take me for a spin
i leave the table again
if i have strings attached i guess i’ll never win
i am alone, i am alive, i am afraid to breathe
i am afraid to show you something you don’t wanna see
but would you wanna see me, in your sweatshirt
waiting in your bedroom?
no, i don’t smoke, am i a joke, or am i what you need?
i'll be the one you call when lust has overtaken greed
would you want me, waiting in your bedroom?
your expression
leaves me guessing
won’t learn my lesson
not to mention
some contention
for your attention
i am alone, i am alive, i am afraid to breathe
i am afraid to show you something you don’t wanna see
but would you wanna see me, in your sweatshirt
waiting in your bedroom?
no, i don’t smoke, am i a joke, or am i what you need?
i'll be the one you call when lust has overtaken greed
would you want me, waiting in your bedroom?
your expression
leaves me guessing
won’t learn my lesson
not to mention
some contention
for your attention
