I hopped off the plane at LAX With a dream and my cardigan Welcome to the land of fame excess Am I gonna fit in? Jump into the cab, here I am for the first time Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy Everybody's lookin' so famous My tummy's turnin' and I'm kinda feelin' homesick Too much pressure and I'm nervous That's when the taxi man turned on the radio And the Jay-Z song was on And the Jay-Z song was on And the Jay-Z song was on So I put my hands up, they're playing my song The butterflies fly away Noddin' my head like, yeah Moving my hips like, yeah I got my hands up, they're playing my song I know I'm gonna be okay Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

Mental gymnastics How you got me out of your head Teach me your tactics How you got me off of your chest so fast It's like your fingers just snapped And you're good and I'm mad Let me know How you make it look so easy to let me go Why won't you let me in on your secret? 'Cause I'm still picking up pieces I need you to let me know How did you get so, how did you get so cold? Do you still have the poison on the tip of your tongue? 'Cause I see right through the fear inside the back of your lungs Use your love as a weapon, so you get some leverage Only care for a second, while begging you to Let me know How you make it look so easy to let me go Why won't you let me in on your secret? 'Cause I'm still picking up pieces I need you to let me know How did you get so, how did you get so cold? How did you get so, how did you get so cold? You put me under the ground, yeah, you'll never know What it's like to feel when you're all alone (Hoo) You stain everything around me And I feel darkness around me

Pull, feel my chest cave in From the cold somewhere I feel safe in to Loosen up the sutures all around me Stitch it through my head, flood my surroundings I'm not enough I trace the pattern But it's not enough To erase the damage So I leave it Stay away so they won't see it Hold my face so they believe it But I know it won't cut So I isolate Drag my spirit down, still wondering Why I feel there's no life left in me 'Cause I can't walk through my hopeless gravity 'Cause it's killing me, so I isolate Why is it so hard to breathe? Now you're gone and I am unraveling I don't wanna feel like I am drowning A dagger in my heart when you're around me I'm not enough So I isolate Drag my spirit down, still wondering Why I feel there's no life left in me 'Cause I can't walk through my hopeless gravity 'Cause it's killing me, so I isolate Drown myself to lose that I exist And I can't move when I still feel like this I'm so afraid when the silence is suffocating me Feels like I can't breathe So I isolate Drag my spirit down, still wondering Why I feel there's no life left in me 'Cause I can't walk through my hopeless gravity 'Cause it's killing me, so I isolate (So I isolate) So I leave it Stay away so they won't see it Hold my face so they believe it But I know it won't cut

Stitch up this heart And hide it away I keep it somewhere dark and safe Watch it fade to grey I still feel this way When light catches your face You open these stitches again When I see your face When I see your face I guess what I'm saying is I don't wanna die alone Keep looking around and there's nowhere left for me to roam I can't keep my head up, there's nowhere left to go a-low Please, take me home And now, we're standing here with blood on our hands You tear me open and dig through my chest I'm so sad and cold with the spaces you left I stitch up my heart again and lay this to rest To rest
