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
