Yeah, You

I'm just here to stay inside While you barge in with your loud collide I never called you over, never asked for your help You think you're bigger; you're so full of yourself Just a middle child you are Which means your emotions are not far You've only got your simple-minded, little friend Who used you for 5 years and you're, what, back again? My passive nature through your eyes Makes me consider, yes, suicide All these years you've never known that You'll never know how deep you've trapped Me in this corner you let me out From time to time I run about When things are dark you push me in And when you're up, you let me out again Why do you want to fight on your time? I don't care! 'Cause I don't want to waste mine You think that just 'cause I don't want to fight That that's my defense; yet that's why I pick up and take flight Just leave me alone and keep to your life 'Cause I wanna live, and I don't wanna do what I might Just 'cause of some idiot who pisses me off But you're such a beautiful flame and I'm just a dumb moth
