I have heard it all before
I am not unusual
I was never built to fall
Off the precipice that love makes you endure

Creeps up on me it's a losing game
Feel my naivety slipping away
There’s a cracking of my innocence
Optimsim less and less
Falling down to meet the scepticists

I worry that I’ll lose a little of myself
Each time that I take the dive and
I’ve listened to same words
Played over in each verse
Poetry they pour into my ears
For years and years

I wanna keep my heart
As open as can but it gets hard
I don’t wanna let in the draft
Cold winds flicker out the fire that we just started
Always worn it on my sleeve
But I can feel it moving in retreat
Each time he says he has to leave
Got a fear I’ll lose it all,
Become unfeeling
Build myself my own glass ceiling

Through screens
Levi jeans
Pearly teeth
I’ve seen them cry like emotional machines
So I'll be your Mary Magdalene
I’ll wash your feet I’ll let you in
And when you go I’ll do it all again

I worry that I’ll lose a little of myself
Each time that I take the dive and
I’ve listened to same words
Played over in each verse
Poetry they pour into my ears
For years and years

I wanna keep my heart
As open as can but it gets hard
I don’t wanna let in the draft
Cold winds flicker out the fire that we just started
Always worn it on my sleeve
But I can feel it moving in retreat
Each time he says he has to leave
Got a fear I’ll lose it all,
Become unfeeling
Build myself my own glass ceiling

Oh I hate these voices
In my head
In my head
In my head, head, head

And oh I hate those choices
That let you into my bed
Oh my bed, bed, baby
Bed, bed baby

I wanna keep my heart
As open as can but it gets hard
I don’t wanna let in the draft
Cold winds flicker out the fire that we just started
Always worn it on my sleeve
But I can feel it moving in retreat
Each time he says he has to leave
Got a fear I’ll lose it all,
Become unfeeling
Build myself my own glass ceiling
