The words that fell out of my mouth were like poison in the air
Until I spoke them, I believed there were no doubts going spare
And anything was possible if I didn't live in fear,
But I'm already missing you, even though you are still here
Balancing on needles and pins,
Holding on too tight,
I know I'm going to break your skin
Going to break your skin
You looking at me now I feel I could do no wrong
You are just too precious to lose, soon you could be gone
I wish I didn't know that one day I would make you cry
To mirror who you think I am, I'm going to tell white lies
Balancing on needles and pins,
Holding on so tight,
I know I'm going to break your skin
Going to break your skin
Your beautiful skin,
Going to break your skin
(Tik-tok, tik-tok, tik-tok)
I can't stop it,
(Tik-tok, tik-tok, tik-tok)
This heart is going to self-destruct
Balancing on needles and pins,
Holding on so tight,
I know I'm going to break your skin
Going to break your skin
Your beautiful skin,
Going to break your skin
