Am I supposed to, am I supposed to be this numb?
When you get teary eyes, I get jealous of the shimmer
Am I supposed to, am I supposed to ask around?
Can I buy "happy" at the market and wear it into town? No
I tie my hands to my pockets
I fiddle with the space between the fabric
You never know, you never know
When you're going to need the room
Waiting for my seeds to bloom, think I missed a spring or two
Oh no, no, no

There I go
There I go
There I go
There I go
I'm so sorry my dear

There I go (Please forgive me now)
There I go (Please forgive me now)
There I go
There I go
I'm so sorry my dear

Don't leave me open
All my palisades are made of memory
And you know me too well, there's no pretending
And oh, I can't stand it when you get me
Cause one day you'll find out, I'm just a face

Fell to pieces when I packed my things up
Boy or boy sometimes it takes a trip to pick your feet up
Agony, it tucks me in at night and keeps the light on
I don't know why I get up at 9 AM to feed you
I stuffed my cash inside my boots and my heart inside my clutch
Then asked the universe to join me for some double dutch
And you waved at me as I was leaving, but I didn't see it
It took me too many years to see the damage I'd done
I wish I could show emotions like the other kids do
I know you hate it when I hate me but there's much to improve
I'll stay for a couple minutes but I gotta go soon
Cause if I don't then I'll happily forget how to move

There I go
There I go
There I go
There I go
I'm so sorry my dear

There I go (Please forgive me now)
There I go (Please forgive me now)
There I go
There I go
I'm so sorry my dear

Don't leave me open
All my palisades are made of memory
And you know me too well, there's no pretending
And oh, I can't stand it when you get me
Cause one day you'll find out
One day you'll find out
