Of Steel
by: Say AnythingI fell and slipped in a pool of spit
That my parents spat out on the day they split.
Fell clumsily through twigs and trees
Into a pile of dudes who were as screwed as me.
Well, guess what? You showed up
With a cape and a dress, to dress my cuts.
Nice to meetcha, I'm cliche!
I have this baggage, but can you save me?
Can you save me?
'Cause I don't want to end up like they are.
Can you save me?
'Cause I don't wanna get stuck like they are.
Can you save me?
'Cause I don't want to give it up like they are.
Can you save me?
Disfigured fiends with sadistic schemes
Have got it out for the woman of my dreams.
I'm a helpless mess. Damsel in distress.
Caught staring at the symbol on her chest.
You chose me out of these
Sea of klutzes-come-triple-amputees.
Unworthy of all your time
While I dance here amongst the landmines.
Can you save me?
'Cause I don't want to end up like they are.
Can you save me?
'Cause I don't wanna get stuck like they are.
Can you save me?
'Cause I don't want to give it up like they are.
Can you save me?
'Cause I wanted you.
Do you want me too?
'Cause I notice you.
Do you notice anything I do?
'Cause I wanted you.
Do you want me too?
'Cause I notice you.
'Cause I notice you.
