lyrics

Wait till I'm down at the deep end
Wait till I can’t touch the bottom
That's when you tell me that you’re seeing somebody and she feels just like me
I can only take so much   
I’m bulletproof but I’m human
No, you can’t blame me for that
I can't get over what you did
Swear that it's holding me back
Whenever I sing the music
All the lyrics are so sad
I feel like I’m gonna lose it
But then the pain is a lit match   
I’m getting used to a sharp end
Loneliness feels like an old friend
I'm just getting cozier with the knife that's stuck in my back
I didn’t think I'd get through it

I’m bulletproof but I’m human
No, you can't blame me for that
And I'll get over what you did
No, it's not holding me back
Whenever I sing the music
All the lyrics are so sad
Now I learned how to use it
Because the pain is a lit match

No, I never thought I’d see the daylight
No, I never thought I’d make the sparks fly
Felt like I was just coming undone
But I feel this new fire like hunger
Pull me out or it be taking me under
Breathe it out or hold it in my lungs
