I swear i didn't mean it
you're not a whore
you didn't do all that shit
but i did mean what i said
at the time

and i swear i couldn't help it
you were there
and i got a bit pissed
and through the drunken haze
i didn't mind

but i know that you keep defending me
even though i keep denying what i see

i can see light
trickling through your hair, through your eyes
i can see waves
crashing over your heart, and mine
i want us to drown so we
have an excuse to say
it wasn't our fault
we couldn't help it
we were just
born
this
way

I'm sorry that i meant it
when i said that i couldn't hack it
but i know that you wont give up easy

i don't like giving you up
but you and i know its tough
no one else ever seems to want to say

they can see light falling straight from the stars
shining on you, dazzling us
they can see sunshine on our lips
it burns where it touches
and causes these scars
so we seem to being hiding
who we are
we were just
born
this
way...

i want to keep hiding
i want to escape
i want to run far
run far away

where we can say

there's a certain light that covers us
a certain love, a certain trust
a certain sort of abstract smile
there's a kind of weakness in the knees
and a kind of smile in the kisses
i wish that they could only see

the light
trickling through your hair, through your eyes
the waves,
crashing over your heart, and mine
the way that we're drowning to have an excuse to say
it's not our fault
we couldn't help it
i wanted to change
but shes so perfect
and I'm told that i was just
i was just

a drop of light in a dark ocean
a blinding star, a potent potion
a girl who wanted what she couldn't have

but we're fine just being us
we can hide the pain and the lust
we can both run away
'cause we were born this way.
