Lyrics

[Intro] Ladies and gentlemen You are about to witness The most death-defying leap ever attempted Watch her closely [Verse 1] The words, they don't come easy But the feelings come all strong I know words should make me happy If sometimes I play along My chest on set fire, there's no burnin' in my lungs Just an empty space I've labeled as "The things that I should love" [Pre-Chorus] All that cuts through Is the fear of what I'll lose I was born a welfarе baby With the blisters in my shoes Prеtendin' that I'm small 'Cause I'd be in trouble if I grew Pretendin' I was fine 'Cause I'd be in trouble if they knew (Trouble if they knew) [Chorus] I've been confusing afraid and well-behaved Been sacrificin' things that I want because I thought That it would make me brave And since the pastor kicked me out because of tithes that went unpaid I don't waste my time at all, nobody answers when I pray Are you good at charades? (Oh, oh) Can you see that I'm bleeding on the stage? Can you feel the things I'm screamin' even when I cannot say? I don't talk to God, I don't talk at all I'm quiet most these days So are you good at charades? [Verse 2] Three words and four syllables Doctor told me I'm not invincible But I've been livin' like I was for far too long A big world feelin' real small now Every day, I'm dizzy in the roundabout Daddy told me that he won't be coming around [Pre-Chorus] The only way that I'll get through Is to tell them that I refuse 'Cause I was born a welfare baby So I got nothing left to lose And I'm pretendin' it don't hurt 'Cause I know somehow I'll make do I know exactly how to be alone Because it's all I ever knew [Chorus] I'm afraid to feel like a burden, so I lie awake Try not to get too attached 'cause I know that they'll leave anyway Ever since that pastor kicked me out because of tithes that went unpaid I don't waste my time at all, nobody answers when I pray Are you good at charades? (Oh, oh) Can you see that I'm bleeding on the stage? Can you feel the things I'm screamin' even when I cannot say? I don't talk to God, I don't talk at all I'm quiet most these days So, are you good at charades? Are you any good at charades? [Outro] Maybe you and I, we should play Should we give it a go, 'cause nobody knows? At the end of the day, it's just a harmless game Well, I don't wanna give it away And I know you could get it if you paid attention Are you good at charades? Are you any good at charades? Mm
