you wish me like a ring
to be wrapped around your finger
you’ll never hold me down
you’ll never hold me-

crushing everything
no reason i should linger
you tried to keep me sane
you tried to keep me-

i never wanted to be saved…

i’m out of my head and i understand
out of my head and it’s on my hands
one hundred reasons why
i’m out of my head, it’s a hard goodbye

thinking we could win
just denying all my senses
you’ll never hold me down
you’ll never hold me-

i never wanted to be sane…

i’m out of my head and i understand
out of my head and it’s on my hands
one hundred reasons why
i’m out of my head, it’s a hard goodbye
