Thought I needed your love
Thought I needed your favor
Thought I needed your follow
Dreams of being your favorite
Cut your slice of the pie, take pieces of me
The taste is living out, gonna spit it out
I'll never be your hero, I have too many flaws
No shining night in armor, I'll never be your star
I'd rather be the darkness
Than to lie in the light
Rather be the one you love
Than who you lie
You know my secrets
That makes you holier than me, don't it?
Simply exorcising demons
You never admit you're just like me
You know all of my secrets
That makes you holier than me, don't it?
While like a drug I've been fiending
When we know we all have that closet full of skeletons
Never be what you want
And never do right through your eyes
Seems I can't win for losing
So why should I frigging try?
Don't ever strike a match
Don't ever light a fire
Hey Mr. Stone thrower
Make sure you aim higher
All you do is tear down 'cause that's all you've ever known
See these ashes on my shoulder, I've survived fire before
So baby do what you please, so baby do what you do
I'm not talking today but tomorrow it's you
You know my secrets
That makes you holier than me, don't it?
Simply exorcising demons
You never admit you're just like me
You know all of my secrets
That makes you holier than me, don't it?
While like a drug I've been fiending
When we know we all have that closet full of skeletons
All I ever wanted was to give you the real me
None ever told me that being here was more like make believe
All I ever wanted was your love
All I ever wanted was your love
All I ever wanted was your love
