I don't know who I am
Where do these mirrors get their right to be believed
When I look into your eyes, much to my surprise, I see me
I don't know what's worse
Letting go or holding on until it hurts
I'm begging you to stay, for you to stay so far away
'Cause I need Technicolor dreams to be real
The silver screen ignores how much I need to be adored
But it's the only way that I know how to feel
Don't leave me
Just leave me alone
I'm not used to being loved, always alone
Never enough to be relieved of the pressures of our youth
What makes me so much more like you than I'd rather be
I don't know what's worse
Letting go or holding on until it hurts
I'm begging you to stay, for you to stay so far away
'Cause I need Technicolor dreams to be real
And the silver screen ignores how much I need to be adored
But it's the only way that I know how to feel
Don't leave me
Just leave me alone
I know you want something I can't give or take
It's not easy knowing I am able to break
And I don't know what you mean
And I don't know who to be to satisfy your needs
Put me in a movie, let you play the lead
I'm begging you to stay, for you to stay so far away
'Cause I need Technicolor dreams to be real
And the silver screen ignores how much I need to be adored
But it's the only way that I know how to feel
Don't leave me
Just leave me alone
