I'm fifteen
they call you queen
and everybody says they love you
I can finally breathe
but I'm still searching for freedom
I've gotta hide my heartache
I've gotta hide my heart away
I've gotta hide my heartache
I've gotta hide and stay awake
I'm sixteen
my hair is green
and I'm afraid to say I love you
got other secrets to tell
but I'm not feeling well
I'm aching for certainty
I've gotta hide my heartache
I've gotta hide my heart away
I've gotta hide my heartache
I've gotta hide and stay awake
I'm seventeen
becoming king of the road I built behind me
I know that once I can flee
I will come and I'll find thee
stop waiting for someday
I've gotta hide my heartache
I've gotta hide my heart away
I've gotta hide my heartache
I've gotta hide and stay awake
but if you'll be with me
I won't have to hide my heartache
I won't have to hide my heart away
I'll stay with you, my heartbreak
take me apart in the best way
I'm eighteen
I'm almost free
I'm not afraid to say I love you

my boy is burning
and the flames lick past his lips
I see him turning
and I feel I'm losing him
I wanna hurt you
and I wanna make you mine
want you to save my soul
cuz yours is perfect and divine
I wanna be yours x4
my heart is empty
so I have space to let him in
but my mind is winding up
I'll never let him win
I wanna hurt you
and I wanna make you mine
want you to save my soul
cuz yours is perfect and divine
I wanna be yours x4
my teeth are trembling
and I can't keep myself still
I want his heart, his love, his life
and his good will
I wanna hurt you
and I wanna make you mine
want you to save my soul
cuz yours is perfect and divine
I wanna be yours x4
my boy is burning
and I feel I'm losing him

you're my chosen victim
with glorifying symptoms
did nothing to deserve this
damned because you're perfect
I call you my best friend
I love you but you're worthless
and nothing you could say would change my mind
I live for the way your heartbeats faster
when I tell you that I just can't live without you
I never meant it
I only said it for your heartbeat
I don't know how to tell you
you saved my life
and broke through the clouds I pull around me
damned because you love me
I call you my best friend
I love you but you're worthless
and nothing you could say would change my mind
I live for the way your heartbeats faster
when I tell you that I just can't live without you
I never meant it
I only said it for your heartbeat
my only salvation is knowing one day I'll break your heart
I live for the way your heartbeats faster
when I tell you to stay
I never meant it
I only said it for your heartbeat
I live for the way your heartbeats faster
when I tell you that I just can't live without you
I never meant it
I only said it for your heartbeat

I can feel your bones already
you turn to dust in my hands
I can feel my bones already
skin blown away by the sand
I can take my own advice to keep myself alive
you're the one I want to save
can't take my own advice
I just want you alive
and I promised myself I'd never self destruct
so I'll make myself a vessel for your pain
and for your love
I can feel your heart beat slower
you fall asleep in my bed
I can feel my heartbeat flutter
cuz I leave too much unsaid
I can take my own advice to keep myself alive
you're the one I want to save
can't take my own advice
I just want you alive
and I promised myself I'd never fall apart
so I made myself a vessel for everything you are

if I tell you the truth
will I be saying what I feel?
do I want to stay clean?
or do I want to be real?
I don't know how to grow up
I don't know how to grow up
it's lonely learning how to be your own
and years ago I said
I'd use my words to cage my needs
but now the pens stay empty
I can't capture anything
and I know
the one I want will never be my victim
even with the net hanging from my fingers
I surrender
I surrender
I'll give you anything you want if you let me be my own
let me be my own
I'll take all the bullets
cuz you have fresher scars
I'm not sick enough for your system
but I'll stay and watch you learn how to be human
how to be human
how to be everything you'll need
when you'll be on your own
and years ago I said
I'd use my words to cage my needs
but now the pens stay empty
I can't capture anything
and I know
the one I want will never be my victim
even with the net hanging from my fingers
I surrender
I surrender
I'll give you anything you want if you let me be my own
let me be my own
let me be my own

you don't want to admit
you're losing me
and I don't want to admit
I'm not gonna be what I led you to believe in
so I'll take another afternoon of nightmares
I'll rot on the bedroom floor
till waterlilies grow out of my spine
and I'll give you empty platitudes
and tell you that I'm fine
till you call and someone else picks up the line
but I'll never tell you how I feel
and I'll never make the moves
to prove its real
you'll let me down again
I'll mess around again
but every white lie's still worth the lifetime I have left with you
so I'll take another afternoon of nightmares
I'll rot on the bedroom floor
till waterlilies grow out of my spine
and I'll give you empty platitudes
and tell you that I'm fine
till you call and someone else picks up the line
