Why am I so paralyzed?

We’re dancing with our hands tied

Fall in love, like it’s a crime

But I know that I’m only wasting your time.


I don’t even want you to be mine.


'Cause I come from broken parts

Stolen by selfish hearts.

Don’t get too close to me

You’ll only leave

 

If I push you away

Will you never see,

The monster inside

My own fractured mind.

 

I don’t want to hurt you, but

Hurt’s all I know how to do

It’s too late to save me,

So let me save you.
