lyrics

[YOU SET ME ON FIRE AND NOW I AM DEAD - LYRICS]

What's the matter, my friend?
Am I putting you on edge?
Have you come to me with blood on your hands?

I am not broken, I am free
So please stop trying to fix me
You are a joke to me, I hope you understand

And I've been pounding on the glass
And I've been calling out your name
But you just walked by as if it was opaque

I'll scream out just to mask the sound
When everything comes crashing down on me
So all my friends will think that I'm ok

[Chorus]
So why? I never meant to be this way!
