Stay Away

I can’t remember what it’s like to not be slipping
I kind of wish that I could stay
I really miss it, how it was in the beginning
But still, I like myself this way
You say it’s love when you criticize
But this time I won’t apologize
You say I have knives for teeth
So stay away from me
I’ll cut you up until you leave
So stay away from me

I had a problem with forgetting I was human
And I’d let people have their way
Now I have learned what I am worth, but you have proven
That you would rather I obey

So stay away from me

Instead of running from myself I’ve learned to face her
She’s got a fire in her eyes
You grasp for words that kill the flames as they grow higher
If you don’t run we’ll burn alive
You say I have knives for teeth
So stay away from me
I’ll cut you up until you leave
So stay away from me

So stay away from me
