lyrics

That's me being invincible
That's me falling apart
That's me trying to get my mind off my potentially broken heart
That's me thinking that I can do anything
That's me flying too close to the sun
That's me realizing that I'm not a good guy
and if I don't think so, why should anyone?

Covering my face may lower visibility
I think I'm overwhelmed again, my disability
you look at me with I can't tell if it's intrigue or pity
cause they look the same, when even your name is Shitty

I wear it like a badge of dishonour, on my face
"Everyone look over here at your local disgrace!"
I feel like a fraud despite the efforts to show you my sleeves
cause one false move from me could be when you decide to leave.

I don't know what you see in me
you must be thinking of someone else
the only thing I'm positive of
is my negative sense of self.

That's me being invincible; that's me falling apart;
That's me trying to keep my mind off my potentially broken heart
That's me thinking that I can do anything
That's me flying too close to the sun
That's me realizing that I'm not a good guy
and if I don't think so, why should anyone?

I'm trying my best to live my life in a vacuum
Hiding in the open, living in the back room
There's a sign on the door that says "Feel Free To Disturb"
but what that sign implies is a title that I don't deserve.

If time is money I'm filing for bankruptcy and selling the house
I'm tearing off the smile that's been drawn on the tape over my mouth

I don't know what you see in me
you must be thinking of someone else
The only thing I'm positive of
is my negative sense of self.

(I just want to be good enough
don't want to be the bottom of the barrel that you're scraping
I just want to do great things
Don't want you to give up on me
Can't get caught up in my deceit
I'll be the best I can be.)
