Drag Me Down

I wanted to be like the men in the movies
Who always seem to get it right (hey, hey, babe)
I wanted to be just like your favorite scene
The hero always wins the fight

A little too late now to start over again
I'm still the same clown masquerading behind a pen
I wanted to be like a star on the screen
At least then it was meant to be

But then the focus changes
I'm blurring through the pages
My heartbeat fading

Drag me down with you, I taste it
On the tip of my tongue, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with you, I'll face it
I'm calling your bluff, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with-

I thought we would be a happy ditsy melody
Now we're singing Byzantine (now we're singing Byzantine)
I thought we would be another smile in a magazine
A pretty perfect little dream (hey)

But I'm just a loser, beggar and chooser
You seem to think there's more to the illusion
I think I've lost my fight (I think I've lost my fight)
'Cause I wanted to be like the men in the movies
Maybe then I'd get it right

With you, I taste it
On the tip of my tongue, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with you, I'll face it
I'm calling your bluff, enough is enough

Won't drag me down with you, oh
On the tip of my tongue, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with you, oh
I'm calling your bluff, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with-

The fear of dying alone
Doesn't hurt half as much (doesn't hurt half as much)
As the feeling of letting you go
After one last touch (touch)

Drag me down with you, I taste it
On the tip of my tongue, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with you (you, oh), I'll face it
I'm calling your bluff, enough is enough

Won't drag me down with you, oh
On the tip of my tongue, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with you, oh
I'm calling your bluff, enough is enough
Won't drag me down with-
