Lyrics:
The corners of my mind
They lie shattered on the ground
And if i stay here for too long
They’ll cut too deep for me to stand
I could pick the pieces up
And place my mind back shard by shard
But there’s no adhesive strong enough
To keep me holding on
And there’s a difference between being fine
And holding it together
I’m just trying my best to survive til morning
And there’s a difference between loving you
And dealing with the shit you do
Sometimes it’s better to be miserable, than lonely
If I only had a brain, said the scarecrow to the bird.
Then I’d find the words to say
so that you wouldn’t fly away.
I wish I were a tin man,
then I’d have no heart to break.
But I’m afraid that I’m the lion
with no pride left to take.
The whiskey on my breath
Speaks the story I won’t tell
If anyone should ask
I’ll always say I’m doing well
cause I’m nobody’s fool
As long as Nobody’s your name
Picture perfect is the portrait
Hanging in the frame
But there’s a difference between being fine
And holding it together
I’m just trying my best to survive til morning
And there’s a difference between loving you
And dealing with the shit you do
Sometimes, it’s better to be miserable than lonely
If I only had a brain, said the scarecrow to the bird.
Then I’d find the words to say
so that you wouldn’t fly away.
I wish I were a tin man,
then I’d have no heart to break.
But I’m afraid that I’m the lion
with no pride left to take.
And I’m terrified to fall
I’ve never been the kind to risk it all
On unfavorable odds
It’s never worth the cost you pay
A fine line on a tightrope
No net to catch your blunder
If you topple it won’t matter
You’ll be buried six feet under
If I only had a brain, said the scarecrow to the bird.
Then I’d find the words to say
so that you wouldn’t fly away.
I wish I were a tin man,
then I’d have no heart to break.
But I’m afraid that I’m the lion
with no pride left to take.
