Lyrics

Borderline

[Chorus: LAVINIA]

I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad

I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad

I can't get rid of this tingling fear

You'd sort me out if my head gets clear

I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free

I used to be blind and I still can't see

And I won't get around to a change of mind

As long as nobody breaks my stride

[Verse 1: LAVINIA]

Boys of the empire

They set my head on fire

Pull the plug, sire

I'll spit fire

[Chorus: LAVINIA]

I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad

I'm borderline good and I'm borderlinе bad

I can't get rid of this tingling fear

You'd sort me out if my hеad gets clear

I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free

I used to be blind and I still can't see

And I won't get around to a change of mind

As long as nobody breaks my stride

[Verse 2: LAVINIA]

Tricks of the empire

Make happy kids aim higher

Higher up, they wet fire

Fools of the empire

[Chorus: LAVINIA]

I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad

I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad

I can't get rid of this tingling fear

You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
