Delirium

Looking pretty in the corner
Fragile like glass
If they asked me to dance
I fear I'd do what they asked

They're serving tea cakes at their pretty parties
They're coming up fast on me I say sorry
I'm not meant to last

I loved you once so I guess I'll love you forever
I'm in black and my mascara's running home to you

I talked to the wind
She doesn't like me very much
She said she'd tell God
But he's too high to touch
Am I so hard to love
Am I debt that you owe
The room is on fire that much I know
My heart left my chest
My fingers are numb
I can't stay here and I can't go back where I'm from
In delirium

Staring at the mirror
I can't look away
But it's not in vain
Yeah I'm crashing like a train

They're asking me things and I don't have answers
If I don't speak now I'm a burnt out lantern
It's all coming down

They liked me once but I know it won't last forever
I'm back and my ego's turning black and blue

I talked to the wind
She doesn't like me very much
She said she'd tell God
But he's too high to touch
Am I so hard to love
Am I debt that you owe
The room is on fire that much I know
My heart left my chest
My fingers are numb
I can't stay here and I can't go back where I'm from
In delirium

If there was a guitar in this room I'd look away
I'd turn my blushing face to the wall if they asked me to play
I'm unnaturally laughing with men that I hate
As they lean in for a kiss I exclaim that I can't stay

Floating around in my pool of pity
Wondering how many good years I have left that I'll stay pretty
A pocketful of dreams but they don't pay the bills
Now I know why the starlets turn to pills
The tears come fast when no one can see them
In delirium

I talked to the wind
She doesn't like me very much
She said she'd tell God
But he's too high to touch
Am I so hard to love
Am I debt that you owe
The room is on fire that much I know
My heart left my chest
My fingers are numb
I can't stay here and I can't go back where I'm from
In delirium
