Outside the center of a 6-N fight
A conduit of "all-alright"
Throw your hands up and speak for your own
I'll wrap my hands
Toe to toe's all I've known
Heard you've been searching for a hero to do you some good
Blazed a trail for the misunderstood
But you know that you're the queen of uptown
In a ballroom gown
And all your waves of people behind you saying
Sh-sh-show me how lonely
Sh-sh-show me how alone
And all your scars
You ain't so eager to show
Sh-sh-shake it off baby
Sh-sh-shake it all alone
And before you quit
I must admit
You ain't so easy on the eyes anymore
Since we've met
Remember all the things we said
In a backseat acting for our bed
In the days we thought too far ahead
For all the letters we stamped and sent
For all the bridges we broke
But decided not to mend
For all those genuines I've met too short to call a friend
Oh, didn't you think it was time for this to end?
You came in from the blind
You're backing out from your white light days
You came in from the blind
Come on and show me your lonely ways
Oh this is like a battle waging under attack
A subtle kiss laid the last stone
And painted you black
And this won't be the last time you turn your back
So until then
Count your steps
And re-walk your tracks
Sh-sh-show me how lonely
Sh-sh-show me how alone
And all your scars
You ain't so eager to show
Sh-sh-shake it off baby
Sh-sh-shake it all alone
You've come so far
Remember all the things we said
In a backseat acting for our bed
In the days we thought too far ahead
For all the letters we stamped and sent
For all the bridges we broke
But decided not to mend
For all those genuines I've met too short to call a friend
Oh, didn't you think it was time for this to end?
