(Par-ei-do-lia) (Par-ei-do-lia) (Everything that I love will destroy me in the end) (So I break my own heart over and over again) Deep breath, exhale, this is how it always ends My heart givin' out, dinner party full of friends New loves, old beds, I've been seein' ghosts again "All good, no thanks," hunger in the growin' pains How do I know how to make this stop? When the world keeps spinnin' and I want to get off Whatever I seem, I was never as tough I was never as clean as you think that I was I hide in plain sight I'm gonna dance till my death And, God, it feels nice to be this recklеss again I'm not myself, I haven't been in some timе But don't you see me tryin'? Don't you see me tryin'? New fame, body ache, I feel like a child again Hungry for attention, looking for it in the wrong place Growing pains, growing wings Right between my shoulder blades Glass hips shatter under plastic skin, oh How do I know when enough is enough? Did I take it too far? Concern looks like love The going gets good, then I fuck things up I just stay right here and I never grow up I hide in plain sight I'm gonna dance till my death And, God, it feels nice to be this careless again Not myself, I haven't been in some time But, don't you see me tryin'? Don't you see me? I hide in plain sight I'm goin' back to the wreck And, God, it feels nice in ways I don't understand One more time, and then, I swear, I'll be fine But, don't you see me tryin'? Don't you see me tryin'? (Don't you see me tryin'?) (Don't you see me?) (Don't you see me tryin'?) Everything that I love will destroy me in the end So I break my own heart over and over again Everything that I love will destroy me in the end So I break my own heart over and over again Everything that I love will destroy me in the end So I break my own heart over and over again Everythin' that I love will destroy me in the end So I break my own heart over and over again I hide in plain sight I'm gonna dance till my death And, God, it feels nice to be this reckless again I'm not myself, I haven't been in some time But, don't you see me tryin'? Don't you see me tryin'?
