safe than sorry

woke up this early

but only to figure out

the reason why i'm still around. waiting for thoughts

to resolve and become authentic

still i don't know what to say. please lift your hand of my chest

'cause i can't breathe with your love locked so tight around me. my love

it isn't as brave as yours

love. i've learned to rather be safe than sorry. fearless of lust

there you lie in my bed

and don't hear how i am howling your name. wishing for you to wake up

and tell me to rearrange my mind. i'm not the same as i was. please pull my brain out of my head

'cause i can't love with my thoughts wrapped so tight around me. my love

it isn't as brave as yours

love. i've learned to rather be safe than sorry. you say that i should have learned by now

that my telepathic screams won't meet you while you sleep

but still i try

so

please peel my skin of my flesh

'cause i can't love with myself wrapped so tight around me. my love

it isn't as brave as yours

love. i've learned to rather be safe than sorry

so

please pull my brain out of my head

'cause i can't love with my thoughts wrapped so tight around me. my love

it isn't as brave as yours love. i've learned to rather be safe than sorry.
