I put my emotions in a bottle and sailed them out to sea.
Maybe they'll be carried away with all these thoughts of things that simply cannot be.
Don't patronize me. Don't you dare look at me and sigh.
And comfort me now? I had hoped you wouldn't try...

But the bottle is broken the moment you look me in the eye.

Of course the truth hurt, but it is your lies that killed.
Honestly, honesty is a cup that you'll never have filled.
Since you're apparently incapable, I'll be the one who is real:
The colder than steel glances we share cut deeper than the one-sided feelings I still conceal.

Just let me teach you how to feel,
this time it'll be the right way, it'll be real.
Not with hands, but with your heart-
Eyes on me, I have this down to an art.

I think I just needed time heal,
my pride was hurt, the floodgates opened, you broke the seal.
I'm coping now, I'm over it, but let's make a deal-
You stop breaking hearts, if I teach you how to feel.

Just let me teach you how to feel,
this time it'll be the right way, it'll be real.
Not with hands, but with your heart-
Eyes on me, I have this down to an art.

I know exactly how to feel, the right way, it's real.
I've cared too little and way too much, so trust me- I know the drill.
I've loved, I've lost, wanted to help you live, wanted to ****-
But now all I want to do for you is teach you how to feel when things are real.
So tell me, darling, do you really know how it feels?
