You wanna know what it feels like
To have everyone look at you
Like you're some goddamn prize
Something they can sink their teeth into
They always come around sayin' take a bow
But the "I love you I need you's" are just old now
Don't you know what it feels like
To wanna stop what you thought you knew
If there's a way I can
Break your heart
Without it getting pretty ugly
Tell me now so I can start cuz
I can't wait anymore darlin'
Can't you see the hurt? A future without you is callin'
My friend the cotton candy sky
Is fading to black before my eyes
Tell me how do I keep the light
You wanna know what it feels like
To be the first one to jump in
Holdin' on for your life
Just to tell the others it's safe to swim
It's never any fun diving in alone
But there's gotta be someone who can brave the cold
Don't you know what it feels like
To go skatin' when the ice is thin
If there's a way I can
Break your heart
Without it getting pretty ugly
Tell me now so I can start cuz
I can't wait anymore darlin'
Can't you see the hurt? A future without you is callin'
My friend the cotton candy sky
Is fading to black before my eyes
Tell me how do I keep the light
Don't tell me that I'm perfect
Cuz I'm not
Thought I was ready to fly
But my wings are caught
If there's a way I can
Break your heart
Without it getting pretty ugly
Tell me now so I can start cuz
I can't wait anymore darlin'
Can't you see the hurt? A future without you is callin'
My friend the cotton candy sky
Is fading to black before my eyes
Tell me how do I keep the light
Try to know what it feels like
To wear shoes that don't fit you
