Flinch

Tell me to leave you again
Find every fracture and ready your line of defence
Bind my hands, render me speechless and foil my plans
'Cause you know I'm faithful as hell to my heart
And I swore I'm constant as light from the stars

You're obsessive compulsive about all your problems
Your issues, they're one of a kind
Fixated as hell on intense fabrications from your metaphorical mind
And I was born with painted apologies written in gold on my lips
And you're pulling the strings like I'm only a puppet at your fingertips
Waiting for you to tell me to flinch

So sick of your secrets and shame
Told in a frenzy of weakness and hollow with pain
And you cry, so I bite my tongue 'til my teeth bleed me dry
'Cause you know I'm loyal 'til death do us part
So you hold my breath like you cling to your scars

You're obsessive compulsive about all your problems
Your issues, they're one of a kind
Fixated as hell on intense fabrications from your metaphorical mind
And I was born with painted apologies written in gold on my lips
And you're pulling the strings like I'm only a puppet at your fingertips
Waiting for you to tell me to flinch

So take me to dance in a ballroom of glass
And shatter the walls and the floor
Ask me to search through the shards just to find you
Acting the hero once more
But babe, that's a fairytale miracle
And you're too unreachable, breakable
Don't know if we're saveable

You're obsessive compulsive about all your problems
Your issues, they're one of a kind
Fixated as hell on intense fabrications from your metaphorical mind
And I was born with painted apologies written in gold on my lips
And you're pulling the strings like I'm only a puppet at your fingertips
Waiting for you to tell me to flinch
And you tell me to flinch

But babe, you're a fairytale miracle, I hope that you're saveable
