[Verse 1]
Throw your heart to me
Let it fall and hit the ground
Let it go, oh-oh-oh
Your timing was so wrong
I feel the light on me, outside
I don't ever know why I care
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I...
I got the lines, I got the lines
Yeah, I got the lines, I got the lines
Oh, it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them again
[Verse 2]
And it starts again
You come over with your friends
I don't wanna talk to them
All I really want is you to understand that I'm a mess
I know, you'd like me to go wrong
You'd like me to be gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I...
I got the lines, I got the lines
Yeah, I got the lines, I got the lines
Oh, it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them again
[Outro]
I want to be bigger than life for you, for you
I want to be bigger than life for you, for you
