about

So be true to yourself.

lyrics

I think my face looks better with the lights off
I think my hair looks better when it's down
I think my troubled mind feels better
When there's chaos left to weather
And your silent stare's not here to freak me out

I like the sunset better than the sunrise
Somehow 2 AM is much kinder than noon
I think I like this empty space
And all the silence that it's made
I think I like that I can't feel you in this room

And I'm not saying I don't get lonely
And I'm not saying it's not hard to sleep at night
But my pretty paper heart
It got used to the dark
Inside the tiny silver tin I've always kept it in
And it might not seem like much to you
But it's still mine

I think I like you better when you're not here
I think your love hurts less from far away
I think I almost like your eyes
When they're not skating down my spine
I like your lips when they're not begging me to stay

And I'm not saying I don't get lonely
And I'm not saying it's not hard to sleep at night
But my pretty paper heart
It got used to the dark
Inside the tiny silver tin I've always kept it in
And it might not seem like much to you
But it's still mine

Don't run so fast; don't fall behind
Don't seek me out; I'm hard to find
Don't kiss me; let our lips collide
Don't come inside

I think you've gotten used to coming over
I think your stuff looks better in my way
And my bed gets cold sometimes
So I guess you can take a side
But don't think this means I'm ever going to change
I might just rearrange

And I'm not saying we won't get lonely
And you're not promising we'll always sleep at night
And my pretty paper heart
Might still favor the dark
But it's your tiny silver tin I'm gonna place it in
I've just got one request of you
To let me still be mine

I might seem cold, but I'll always be true
If you let me still be mine
