lyrics

I ask you if you wanna come over
But I don't wanna be seen
Maybe you're the star of the show here
We're always on the same team

I can't stand it
My heart begins to race
And my mind's demanding
I get out of this place
I can't stand it
My heart begins to race and

I say that it's okay to think this way
But I don't feel the same
I wonder have you learned to hide your shame
Or did you push it away

I can't stand it
My blood begins to heat
And my mind's demanding
That I don't admit defeat
I can't stand it
My blood begins to heat
And it doesn't look like it's gonna stop

But I know if I keep on breathing
You can't ever ruin my peace
I've been through this before
But still I'm on my feet

Yeah I'm flawed
But there's nothing I need

Try and try to be there but you always manage not to
But who am I to talk of what you do or ought to
And I found out today I'll always love the thought of you
And when you make mistakes be thankful that they follow you

I can't stand it
My heart begins to race
And my mind's demanding
I get out of this place
I can't stand it
My heart begins to race
And it doesn't look like it's gonna stop

But I know if I keep on breathing
You can't ever ruin my peace
I've been through this before
But still I'm on my feet

Yeah I'm flawed
But there's nothing I need

Yeah I'm flawed
But there's nothing I need
