lyrics

I don't wanna hurt you
You're kind and you're sweet
Don't know what you're doing with a woman like me
I'm always so distracted
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And you're the best thing I've ever had
You like to sit in silence
I like to talk
You like to drive everywhere
I like to walk
Oposites in many ways
But somehow we're the same
I feel better when I say your name

And sometimes
When we argue
My mind goes in the red
And afterwards I'm sorry
For all the things I said
Last night I didn't stop myself
I wish that I did
And I acted like a little kid

It's a curse
It's a burden
It's a neon sign
It's a secret that I'm hiding
For my therapist to find
It's a scar that I brandish
To protect my own heart
In case everything falls apart

You're the one that I want
You haven't gone away
I guess you see something that makes you stay
But I know it affects you
The way that I can be
And I wish
It wasn't me

It's a curse
It's a burden
It's a neon sign
It's a secret that I'm hiding
For my therapist to find
It's a scar that I brandish
To protect my own heart
In case everything falls apart
In case everything falls apart

Why do I end up
Hurting everything I love
I can't blame it on my parents
Or anyone else
It's a problem I've gotta work out in my own mind
Or else be left behind

It's a curse
It's a burden
It's a neon sign
It's a secret that I'm hiding
For the next one to find
It's a scar that I brandish
To protect my own heart
It makes everything fall apart
It makes everything fall apart
It makes everything fall apart
