the truth is i'm scared
that you'll see right through
the walls that i've put up all these years

so i hide myself from you
cover the pain with lies that i tell
things that i'm not
things i don't want
just so you won't see
the tears in my eyes when i bleed

i think that you'll love me
'til i pull you in
into the water where my heart resides
then you'll find out
why all the other men leave me to die

i think that you only want me
'cause i'm cool and i'm pretty
i don't show you i'm clingy
and so fucking needy

i'll love you to the point of suffocating
and watch you slip away
through my fingers
like every other boy i've ever held

you'll try to escape
'cause i'm sick in the head
everybody soon realizes
that tolerating me is their greatest mistake

and soon you will too
