Well I never told you I was good or honest
I lie and I cheat and I can't keep a promise
Fighting the feelings you run all the time
Fighting your feet kind of burns all your time
You say 'I really wanna be around'
But do you really wanna be around?
I know you feel let down and on the shelf
Why just say something, say something else
Like when you told me you loved me
Why don't you feel safe?
Why don't you like how you feel and sound?
Slow down, slow down!
Well I never told you I was good or honest
I lie and I cheat and, you know I can't keep a promise
We could leave this behind but we don't even try
I tell you... (?)
You say 'I really wanna be around'
But do you really wanna be around?
I know you feel let down and on the shelf
Why just say something, say something else
Like when you told me you loved me
Why don't you feel safe?
Why don't you like how you feel and sound?
Slow down, slow down!
You wanted to get away
You wanted to feel safe
I wanted to die, I never wanted more
Slow down, slow down!
You never wanted more...
I know you feel let down and on the shelf
I know you feel let down and on the shelf
I know you feel let down and on the shelf
I think it's time we just say something, say something else!
Like when you told me you loved me
Why don't you feel safe?
Why don't you like how you feel and sound?
Slow down, slow down!
If you wanted to get away
Why don't you feel safe?
Why don't you die, I never wanted more
Slow down, slow down!
