Lyrics
[Verse 1] The businessmen are drinking my blood Like the kids in art school said they would And I guess I'll just begin again You say, "Can we still be friends?" [Chorus 1] If I was scared, I would And if I was bored, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not [Verse 2] All the kids have always known That the emperor wears no clothes But they bow down to him anyway Because it's better than being alone [Chorus 1] If I was scared, I would And if I was bored, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not [Verse 3] Now you're knocking at my door Saying, "Please come out with us tonight" But I would rather be alone Than pretend I feel alright If the businessmen are drinking my blood Like the kids at art school said they would Then I guess I'll just begin again You say, "Can we still be friends?" [Chorus 2] If I was scared, I would And if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not Now I'm ready to start If I was scared, I would And if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not Now I'm ready to start [Outro] Now I'm ready to start I would rather be wrong Than live in the shadows of your song My mind is open wide And now I'm ready to start And now I'm ready to start My mind is open wide And now I'm ready to start Not sure you'll open the door To step out into the dark Now I'm ready
