It's Literally Tearing Me Apart

Yeah I used to believe that the rules applied to me

That my disregard for the city's planned out streets

Yeah it's funny how things never end up like
You had hoped
It's not like you stand your own ground
Or make your own choices
If I pull the string on your back
Will you dance for me too?

When all the petty things
Crash down and knock you off your feet then
You're not as strong as you claim to be
Stop lying to yourself and start accepting
You're always gonna live like this

I'm scared to death that I'll be scared to death
I'll be scared to death
And I'll be scared forever

I'm scared to death that I'll be scared to death
I'll be scared to death
And I'll never really live

I'm scared to death that I can't reach perfection
Going around living my life the way that I could
