lyrics

Life in the background
So safe and sound
But when you take it
Pound for pound
You realize
Everything you weigh yourself against
Is a feather

But you’re neurotic
So unsure
A bit panicked
Thoughts impure
But babe
The only one you have to prove yourself to
Is the mirror

So keep up your chin
You know someday soon you will find your kin
Is it really a sin? (And though your chances are slim...)
To wish that you could win for once (You like to think that you could win for once...)
But where do you begin?

You see things
Warped and tainted
Paths once straight
Now are crooked
But sometimes
A new point of view is the best you can do
To feel wanted

Stuck in a whirl
No more a child
Unfound rage
Is now in style
But love
You illuminate the whole world
With just your smile

And his heart was ablaze
When he made contact with your gaze
They were so amazed (why are you so amazed?)
When you finally made it through the haze (that you finally made it through the haze)
But your stuck in your driveway

But Garrett can’t you see
How it’s all so funny
How the saints are often the most unholy?
It’s such a poem
That it’s love that’s been condemned
Oh, but don’t you know sometimes you need a little hellfire
to make a gem?

Garrett I know that time’s been rough
But first you need to love yourself

It’s not your fault
So don’t be unkind
Please don’t be unkind
Please don’t be unkind
You gave it your all
But it just wasn’t enough
So it’s not your fault
So don’t be unkind
It’s not your fault
So don’t be unkind
Please don’t be unkind
Please don’t be unkind
You gave it your all
So don’t be unkind
Please don’t be unkind
Please don’t be un-
