lyrics

i tell you i'm ok, but i don't feel ok
i tell you i'm ok, but i don't feel ok
let's stop, it's not happening, at least not today

if i perched on that wire, i wonder what you'd do
if i perched on that wire, i wonder what you'd do
would you try to help me down, would you climb up too?

if i'm not making sense, well it's not my concern
if i'm not making sense, well it's not my concern
things don't have to make sense, things just have to burn

i look in the mirror, wonder if i'm alive
i stop by your house and i wonder how you survive
i know that it's mostly just beyond our control
but the flame can't hurt you if you swallow it whole

don't make me nervous, i'll jump out of my skin
don't make me nervous, i'll jump out of my skin
i don't want us to fight, but if we do i'll win

if you're gonna be a coward, don't look me in the eye
if you're gonna be a coward, don't look me in the eye
don't back down, don't flinch, and don't cry

i look in the mirror, wonder if i'm alive
i stop by your house and i wonder how you survive
i know that it's mostly just beyond our control
but the flame can't hurt you if you swallow it whole
