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

Match wits, march you home

Cigarette breath sugar-spun voice

You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird

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

I'll teach you how to talk 'till your teeth come loose

You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird

But I am no prize, I am not harmless

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Would 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 bramble sprung back in the hero's face

You can pull me aside, and I'll whisper my apologies

But I am no prize, I am not harmless
