lyrics

I’m vulnerable so I’m calling a friend
Was hoping that she could come through
When she don’t answer
I reach straight for the pain
Start missing all the things you do
There’s not a lot to save about me
I’m just a link in a chain
But paint me gold and watch me glimmer
Wear me to hide all the shame

Thoughts of you they hold me down by my shoulders
Never coming up for air
All my friends say what you touch turns rotten
But I don't think that I care

They say you’re bad for me baby
I know you know that it’s true
(But I’m feeling up to)
Kicking, screaming, crying, leaving, watching you lie and deceive me
Like I never had a clue yeah

Oh God, your touch
Like dying embers
Burn me like a cigarette
I’m tripped up
I flew off the rails and now I’m bleeding on your pavement

Thoughts of you they hold me down by my shoulders
(Thoughts of you they hold me down)
Never coming up for air
All my friends say what you touch turns rotten
But I don't think that I care

They say you’re bad for me baby
I know you know that it’s true
(But I’m feeling up to)
Kicking, screaming, crying, leaving, watching you lie and deceive me
Like I never had a clue

They say you’re bad for me baby
I know you know that it’s true
(But I’m feeling up to)
Kicking, screaming, crying, leaving, watching you lie and deceive me
Like I never had a clue

Systems down overload
In my chest
When you’re here
Pull me close
Do the most
Make me beg
Then disappear

Systems down overload (Ba-ba-ba-dum, Ba-ba-ba-dum-ba-dum)
You’re confused (Ba-ba-ba-dum)
I’ll make it clear (Ba-ba, Ba-ba)
Heartless eyes (Ba-ba-ba-dum)
Tell me lies (Ba-ba-ba-dum-ba-dum)
Say goodbye (Ba-ba-ba-dum)
And save the tears (Ba-ba, Ba-ba)

Ahhhh
Oh God, your touch
I’m tripped up
