Not Harmless

I came clean and there you went
 Stitching up every single seam I split
 You wanna heal me, wanna trace the scars
 Gonna light a flame for all the unsaved girls
 Black tie on the floor
 Paper-thin dress on a desk chair
 That twist much to hard
 Cigarette breath, sugar-spun voice
 You can pull me aside
 Hold me like a wounded bird
 Oh, but I am no prize
 I am not harmless
 We charmed the light into doing our work
 But it was the dark, we called beautiful
 I'll teach you to cry in a crowded room
 Teach you how to talk until your teeth come loose
 You can pull me aside
 Hold me like a wounded bird
 But if I am no prize
 I am not harmless
 Tell me, tell me, tell me
 Will it make you feel better now
 If you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
 Tell me I'm hysterical
 Match wits, bury my will
 Time will knock you off quick
 Time will take you out
 And I'll be the thief you forgot to chase
 The brambles sprung back in the hero's face
 You can pull me aside
 Whisper my apologies
 But if I am no prize
 I am not harmless
