lyrics

Don't mind me I'm just the corner of a room
Not as center picturesque as the moonlight
Spotlight center stage
Top of the page
With your name in bold letters
I bet you're feeling better than I do
Oh and you're so highly correct
I've been tracing all your pictures and your silhouette
Is the overcast shadowing all of my ideologies of, well, self worth

I could say a word regret it and pull it back,
Dragging with me
All the shame, all the blame, all the lost sense of reality
Of what it means to converse
And that means you can't go in reverse
Say something smart or funny and I'm invisible,
Eggshells on white walls
I break because I'm not the nonesuch
I crack at the thought of being a little too much
A little too much

If perfect practice makes a master
But the masters are allowed to make mistakes
It leaves a paradoxical situationary complication
That negatively affects the missteps I make
There's no forgiveness for my sake
So speak up! Nope you missed it
Find a way to resist
Screaming your frustrations out

Say a word regret it and pull it back,
Dragging with me
All the shame, all the blame, all the lost sense of reality
Of what it means to converse
And that means you can't go in reverse
Say something smart or funny and I'm invisible,
Eggshells on white walls
I break because I'm not the nonesuch
I crack at the thought of being a little too much
(She'll never say it)
A little too much
(She'll never say it)

Oh, but there's beauty in the framing of a picture
The perfect angles sharp and clean
The background work of the scene
Woah, and a harmony is so much sweeter with a strong melody

But I'll still
Say a word regret it and pull it back,
Dragging with me
All the shame, all the blame, all the lost sense of reality
Of what it means to converse
And that means you can't go in reverse
Say something smart or funny and I'm invisible,
Eggshells on white walls
I break because I'm not the nonesuch
I crack at the thought of being a little too much
A little too much
A little too much
A little too much
