I base my worth on love you feel for me A love you give and take so easily I'll stay up late and watch the funny shows And dream of sleep while feeling indisposed We are Once Upon a Time in Fright Miss-cues and steps revealing dizzy highs It's not the way you act or speak to me, baby But more the silence that's been killing me It's not love if loves worn out No hint of warmth and smiles turned down around It feels much safer when I'm home alone and restless My crown of thorns secure and precious When love comes down, I either sink or drown And it's not wrong to want to feel like I belong To something big and strong and all forgiving, baby So hold my power close in safety It's not love if loves worn out No hint of warmth and smiles turned down and round It feels much safer when I'm home alone and restless My crown of thorns secure and precious It's not love if loves worn out No hint of warmth and smiles turned down around It feels much safer when I'm home alone and restless My crown of thorns secure and precious
