Tied up in a love sick bed
haven't had time to get used to your head
singing paranoia like a child again
stranger like you were afraid of
never thought lovin' could be so rough
screamin' at the world that you had enough
Something left alive in the static of your heart
Something in your eyes when you pull it all apart
Woke up to a lonely night
sound of the city ain't quite the same
and everything you know always seems to change
fake it at least till you get it right
gotta have time to lose your head
you always have to know you can start again
Something left alive in the static of your heart
Something in your eyes when you pull it all apart
