CHORUS
Head first, heart second
I have forgotten how to feel
Head first, heart second
I have forgotten how to feel
I’ve been burned
I’ve been kicked around
Ain’t like I don’t know
What you’re going through
But I’m done in
I’m paper thin
I’m not strong enough to hurt for two
I’m not strong enough to hurt for two
CHORUS
Too much alcohol
Too much empathy
Too much love
For one man to survive
But what didn’t kill me
Also didn’t make me stronger
Now I’m just tryin’ to keep what’s left of me alive
I’m just tryin’ to keep what’s left of me alive
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Three AM
Here I am again
Wide awake and paralyzed
My timid heart
Hides itself behind my mind
As I set out to bring down stars
From the sky…
CHORUS
