Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The corners of my mind
They lie shattered on the ground
And if I stay here for too long
They'll cut too deep for me to stand
[Verse 2]
Well, I could pick the pieces up
And place my mind back shard by shard
There's no adhesive strong enough
To keep me holding on
[PreChorus]
But there's a difference between being fine
And holding it together
I'm just trying my best to survive till morning
And there's a difference between loving you
And dealing with the shit you do
Sometimes it's better to be miserable, than lonely
[Chorus]
"And if I only had a brain," said the scarecrow to the bird
"Well, then I'd find the words to say
So that you wouldn't fly away
I wish I were a tin man
Then I'd have no heart to break
But I'm afraid that I'm the lion
With no pride left to take"
[Verse 3]
The whiskey on my breath
Speaks the story I won't tell
If anyone should ask
I'll always say I'm doing well
'Cause I'm nobody's fool
As long as Nobody's your name
Picture perfect is the portrait
Hanging in the frame
[PreChorus]
But there's a difference between being fine
And holding it together
I'm just trying my best to survive till morning
And there's a difference between loving you
And dealing with the shit you do
Sometimes, it's better to be miserable than lonely
[Chorus]
"And if I only had a brain," said the scarecrow to the bird
"Well, then I'd find the words to say
So that you wouldn't fly away
I wish I were a tin man
Then I'd have no heart to break
But I'm afraid that I'm the lion
With no pride left to take"
[Bridge]
And I'm terrified to fall
I've never been the kind to risk it all
On unfavorable odds
It's never worth the cost you pay
A fine line on a tightrope
No net to catch your blunder
If you topple, it won't matter
You'll be buried six feet under
[Chorus]
"If I only had a brain," said the scarecrow to the bird
"Well, then I'd find the words to say
So that you wouldn't fly away
I wish I were a tin man
I'd have no heart to break
But I'm afraid that I'm the lion
With no pride left to take"
