Born cutting teeth on the curb Summoning ghosts up from the concrete Keep me company while I learn Shadowboxing with giants Grew from our feet I know that you don’t understand ‘Cause you don’t believe what you don’t see When you watch me throwing punches at the devil It just looks like I’m fighting with me But there’s a comfort in failure Singing too loud in church Screaming my fears into speakers ‘Till I collapse or I burst Whichever comes first I know you were trying to help But you’re only making it worse
Tell me that I shouldn’t blame myself But you can’t even imagine how badly it hurts Just to think sometimes How I think almost all the time So break me down Fold it over your arms Like an unloaded shotgun Dismantled and harmless Even you couldn’t manage to pull The fuse from the back of my head When you tell me you love me Tell me you loved me I wanted so bad to believe it So tell me you love me Tell me you loved me I wanted so bad I wanted so bad to believe you
