| I never used to be the one to lose control |
| Paranoid thoughts when I’m on my own |
| I don’t wanna be the one to check your phone |
| But lately I |
| I can only sleep when my bags are packed |
| Only feel myself when I overreact |
| Why am I safer when I’m feeling sad |
| It’s like I keep on hurting people just to stop them hurting me back |
| I keep on sabotaging myself till I’m all that I have |
| Oh I wish there was something you could say |
| But I’ve seen how love is made |
| All the beauty and the pain |
| I’m still wearing my bullet proof vest |
| On the inside of my chest |
| Oh I hate that I’m this way |
| But I’ve seen how love can change |
| That’s why I keep on building fire escapes |
| Mmm |
| Mmm |
| That’s why I keep on building fire escapes |
| I keep on mis-reading your undertones |
| Always second guessing when I’m alone |
| Keep my feelings hidden till they overflow |
| Almost like I’ve |
| Forgotten how it feels to be vulnerable |
| Never let myself get too comfortable |
| Never been good at letting go |
| It’s like I keep on hurting people just to stop them hurting me back |
| I keep on sabotaging myself till I’m all that I have |
| Oh I wish there was something you could say |
| But I’ve seen how love is made |
| All the beauty and the pain |
| I’m still wearing my bullet proof vest |
| On the inside of my chest |
| Oh I hate that I’m this way |
| But I’ve seen how love can change |
| That’s why I keep on building fire escapes |
| Mmm |
| Mmm |
| That’s why I keep on building fire escapes |
| So I how do I, how do I, get out of this |
| Get out of this, this time |
| So I how do I, how do I, get out of this |
| Get out of this, this time |
| That’s why I keep on building fire escapes |
