Patch me up
I'm begging you to
call my bluff
I hate myself but
Just enough to say that
Come around
My fingers taste like
blood right now
I'll let you in but keep it down
I'm blurry at best
I hide in water
miles deeper than you've ever seen
and I'm screaming too politely
for you to believe I'm
anything remotely different than the old me
But I'm on fire and
I'm on fire and
I'm on fire for you
Runaway
I've always been a renegade
I brought you here to make
me say how I make all this noise but never mean it
Wait, how, you see right through me?
Break down, what is it you see
stay now, right where you ought to
close enough so we can touch
In water miles deeper than you've ever seen
and I'm screaming too politely
for you to believe I'm
anything remotely different than the old me
But I'm on fire and
I'm on fire and
I'm on fire for you
Now I know you're scared
and you know I'm scared
but I know I care for you
So I'm on my way back
back to okay
Believe in time, believe every word I say
Cause I'm on fire and
I'm on fire and
I'm on fire for you
