lyrics

I thought I felt it change me, baby
I could never compete with what was born
And I can't always burn bright, baby
Somewhere I lost what makes it burn

I am not your sunlight, baby
My flawless glow went out in a whisper of light
Your gift, my curse, our tragic flaw
I'm the martyr perfecting being alone

Why am I so terribly wrong?
With you it's been the same old story
Of holding me back from moving on
I could never
I could never
We can't turn it off

Whisper your shame lover (breathe love, do not wait)
You live like a shadow, you live to escape (you're so careless with that time)
I'm not worth the wait (when you leave me, remember I was to blame)
You couldn't (you couldn't)
Love a mistake

Why am I so terribly wrong?
With you it's been the same old story
Of holding me back from moving on
I could never
I could never
We can't turn it off

Can't turn it off
Can't turn it off
Can't turn it off

Why am I so terribly wrong?
With you it's been the same old story
Of holding me back from moving on
I could never
I could never
We can't turn this off

We can't turn this off
We can't turn this off
We can't turn this off
