When you look at me
All you see is a mess
That needs to be pronounced
So you talk in code
Thinking I don’t know
I’m the prey that needs to be pounced on

But if I had you in the palm of my hand
I wouldn’t crush you
Or put you under the lens
This soul is just not built for revenge

Yeah if I had you in a jar
I wouldn’t judge you
Or mock you from afar
I’d set you free to play amongst the stars

Yeah if the roles were reversed
And I was the blessing
And you were the curse
I’d come in last just so you could be first

But the birds are chained to the sky
And my heart’s tangled in webs
And while you’re out playing
I’m working on the dreams in my head

Cause all I ever wanted
Was to make someone like you proud
But at the end of the day
You go back to your friends; I go back to my cloud
