Not Harmless

I came clean and there you went Stitching up every single seam I split You wanna heal me, wanna trace the scars Gonna light a flame for all the unsaved girls Black tie on the floor Paper-thin dress on a desk chair That twist much to hard Cigarette breath, sugar-spun voice You can pull me aside Hold me like a wounded bird Oh, but I am no prize I am not harmless We charmed the light into doing our work But it was the dark, we called beautiful I'll teach you to cry in a crowded room Teach you how to talk until your teeth come loose You can pull me aside Hold me like a wounded bird But if I am no prize I am not harmless Tell me, tell me, tell me Will it make you feel better now If you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me I'm hysterical Match wits, bury my will Time will knock you off quick Time will take you out And I'll be the thief you forgot to chase The brambles sprung back in the hero's face You can pull me aside Whisper my apologies But if I am no prize I am not harmless
