leaving yourself cuts to the bone and regrets have long arms. hold me down, yeah, so it goes; I'll reach out on my turn. why does everything I do, always cycle back to you? tell me what you want, tell me what you want. nobody lies to themselves like you. nobody can take me hostage like you. but you are the hostage too. es ist nicht genauso, oh mein herz; you've hollowed out the good in me and replaced it with fears. if I said I understood you, would that dry your tears? you know what it feels like when every heartbeat sears. when every heartbeat sears. maybe I died when I left home, maybe I died today, maybe the way you skin my heart is just another dream. and everything I do always cycles back to you 'cause you never let me go, will you ever let me go? nobody lies to themselves like you. nobody can take me hostage like you. but you are the hostage too. es ist nicht genauso, oh mein herz; you've hollowed out the good in me and replaced it with fears. if I said I understood you, would that dry your tears? you know what it feels like when every heartbeat sears. break nobody lies to themselves like you. nobody can take me hostage like you. but you are the hostage too.

I'm gonna get my driver's licence next year, I'm not ready but I need the ID. my mom says I can always talk to her, but I'm afraid that then she won't like me. when all the bad habits that I can't shake write themselves out in jagged red lines, I pretend that love is real to convince myself that I don't wanna die. I'm sorry if you didn't know. but even if fear is no way to grow... (it's no way to grow but) I'm still alive, I'm still alive. the heartbeat in my chest, I claim it, it's mine. I'm still alive, I'm still alive, I'm still alive. so when I get my driver's license, then what? will it suddenly make me less afraid? if I panic and kill someone, then what? (then what) I said I wasn't ready but the world never waits. this is when I say that I don't wanna die. (it'd be a lie but) I'm still alive, I'm still alive. the heartbeat in my chest, I claim it, it's mine. I'm still alive, I'm still alive, I'm still alive. agnus dei, dona nobis pacem. agnus dei, grant us peace. I'm alive, I'm still alive I'm alive, I'm still alive! I'm alive, I'm still alive I'm alive, I'm still alive! I'm still alive, I'll stay alive, I'm still alive. I'll stay alive.

gone, gone, gone, gone, I won't open my eyes until you're gone, gone, gone talk to each other, don't talk at me; that's how we'll all get along cause when it's time to discover the insides of another, well, sharks are better than me (and better than you too) gone, gone, gone, gone, I won't open my eyes until you're gone, gone, gone. and it's too real, too quick, do you want me to tell the truth? "what's up?" "oh, nothing" well, who could be interested in you? don't ask me if I want to be your friend, I only come to parties for the cake. it's not that I don't like you, it's just that you're a bit too real for my taste but I don't wanna let it go. once you know what I know, though, you'll be gone, gone, gone, gone, I won't open my eyes until you're gone, gone, gone. and it's too real, too quick, do you want me to tell the truth? "what's up?" "oh, nothing" well, who could be interested in you? I hope you have fun tomorrow, I'll be playing with something borrowed, and then I'll be gone.

(I'm all ready for the new me, I think I'm ready to fire it up. I'm not really revolutionary, but I think it's time to grow up.) trapped in the shade of my own cosmic heart, you won't get it out of me. I never asked for you to be better than the rest, so why act like you're onto me? who are you, who are you, who are you to be so extraordinary? who are you, who are you, who are you to make me give away my heart for free? so I'll say I hate astrology, even though I think it's fun, 'cause that's what you said, and I'll say it back 'cause I'm just a fool in love. fool in love, just a fool. (tell me where you're going with this, you make me wanna fall apart. ready for the fire, ready for the brimstone, you're such a fucking work of art.) do you know what you do to me? please don't hold it over my head. I never ever meant to let it get this far, but all it does is spread. (maybe we'll meet up in the sky and I can tell you all the things I had to hide.) who are you, who are you, who are you to be so extraordinary? who are you, who are you, who are you to make me give away my heart for free? so I'll say I hate astrology, even though I think it's fun, 'cause that's what you said, and I'll say it back 'cause I'm just a fool in love. fool in love, just a fool. and you should know: I wouldn't love you, if it was up to me. I'd save us both the trouble. save the trouble. so I'll say I hate astrology, even though I think it's fun, 'cause that's what you said, and I'll say it back 'cause I'm just a fool in love. so I'll say I hate astrology, even though I think it's fun, 'cause that's what you said, and I'll say it back 'cause I'm just a fool in love. your heart isn't to blame. you say "I love you," but it's not the same. just say what you want me to say; maybe then you'll love me anyway.
