What a mess, she said you were She thought of self-control As a crutch, not essential You fly like you fall It's too dark to notice you're gone I'm a traitor and you are my company If this is what you meant, I'm insulted [Pre-Chorus] Behind a**aulted scenes, I could swear you wait for me [Chorus] If I was a ransom, you'd be what a pays it If I was the coldest cell, you'd be the prisoner (Don't close your eyes) I'm in the midst of saying That I'll never be the one keep sidelined Never seen you look so much brighter You can doubt the form that's inside of me You choke, you're the victim, don't trust your eyes [Pre-Chorus 2] You're certain to believe in something you can't see
[Chorus 2] If I was a ransom, you'd be what a pays it If I was a colder cell, you'd be the prisoner If I had emotion, you'd be so taken If I wasn't cold as hell, you'd be the prisoner And if we must, we will adjust And make up stories we can tell Here you are Do you need an invite again I'm blessed to know you are too loud again Don't close you eyes, don't close your eyes now Pride attacks and it regains that trap And the clouds say you can hang from them Pull it down, pull it from my cuts Let's paint ourselves [Repeat Chorus 2] And if we must, we will adjust And make up stories we can tell
