I think that maybe they would start believing
All the stories that I tell them
Like how sometimes I can barely breathe
For no apparent reason other than I thought some bad thoughts
These nerves are falling apart
And my fingernails stay short
I keep telling myself "You've got to get over yourself"
I don't want you to save me
'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed
And then you would get bored and leave
I'd be back at square one
And that is such a bad place to begin
We sent all of our sins into the sea
And we set it on fire, we're an island now
I don't know if I can take the pressure it creates
To be a self-sustaining industry
So we'll tell ourselves we've got what it takes
And all we need is a little time to dry off
I don't want you to save me
'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed
And you would leave
I'd be back at square one
And that is such a bad place to begin
If they did tests on my heart I think that maybe they would start believing All the stories that I tell them Like how sometimes I can barely breathe For no apparent reason other than I thought some bad thoughts These nerves are falling apart And my fingernails stay short I keep telling myself "You've got to get over yourself" I don't want you to save me 'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed And then you would get bored and leave I'd be back at square one And that is such a bad place to begin We sent all of our sins into the sea And we set it on fire, we're an island now I don't know if I can take the pressure it creates To be a self-sustaining industry So we'll tell ourselves we've got what it takes And all we need is a little time to dry off I don't want you to save me 'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed And you would leave I'd be back at square one And that is such a bad place to begin Explain Request ×
