Hold me close, don't let go
Cause this is thin, it won't last long and
It's not your fault, it's how I am: A mess
And like the stars we'll shine on
Until the sun comes along, and then we'll fade
It's not a surprise no, at all
And I'm so tired of being my perfect enemy
I break everything that comes too close to me
They're not the problem, why am I happy?
Help, help, I'm so confused now
I find it strange how emotions
Take control, leave me unconscious
But I can breathe, my heart still beats, so it's ok
