If they did tests on my heart   I think that maybe they would start believing   All the stories that I tell them   Like how sometimes I can barely breathe   For no apparent reason other than I thought some bad thoughts   These nerves are falling apart   And my fingernails stay short   I keep telling myself "You've got to get over yourself"      I don't want you to save me   'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed   And then you would get bored and leave   I'd be back at square one   And that is such a bad place to begin      We sent all of our sins into the sea   And we set it on fire, we're an island now   I don't know if I can take the pressure it creates   To be a self-sustaining industry   So we'll tell ourselves we've got what it takes   And all we need is a little time to dry off      I don't want you to save me   'Cause what if you did, you'd succeed   And you would leave   I'd be back at square one   And that is such a bad place to begin
