I came clean and there you went
Stitching up every single seam I split
You wanna heal me, wanna trace the scars
Gonna light a flame for all the unsaved girls

Black tie on the floor
Paper-thin dress on a desk chair
Match wits, march you home
Cigarette breath sugar-spun voice

[Chorus] You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird
But I am no prize, I am not harmless

We charmed the light into doing our work
But it was the dark we called beautiful
I'll teach you to cry in a crowded room
I'll teach you how to talk 'till your teeth come loose

[Chorus] You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird
But I am no prize, I am not harmless

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Would it make you feel better now
If you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me I'm hysterical?

Match wits, bury my will
Time will knock you off quick, time will take you out
And I'll be the thief you forgot to chase
The bramble sprung back in the hero's face

[Chorus] You can pull me aside, and I'll whisper my apologies
But I am no prize, I am not harmless
