I could stand losing you
5 minutes forsaken
For 5 minutes hold me
300 seconds more and erase it all
5 minutes more

Dare me to promise and I would
Might kill it all and maybe I should
Are we too fragile to say we could
My heart of glass trapped in a heart of wood

You carve out the best in me
The love I knew was either lifeless or harmful
Now I’m naked and beautiful

So let’s not be average or usual
Hit me with hope, play me with passion
I’m all fear and expectations

Do I want it so bad that it gets complicated
Like I needed it so bad, I want it all but I complicate it
I want you all but complicated

I would love to let my guard down
But tried and failed way too many times
Now I’m in the dark, I’m blind

Dare me to promise and I would
Might kill it all and maybe I should
Are we too fragile to say we could
My heart of glass trapped in a heart of wood

And if I feel too heavy I’m gone
Dancing on this little tiny wire
When I’m with you I can’t help feeling alone

I guess it’s not about you or anything you could do
Keep on sticking around
I’ll get better and better and better at losing you
And better at loving me too

For 5 minutes I’m the one
For 5 minutes I’m your everything
But in 5 minutes I’m gone
In 5 minutes I am gone

Cuz I could stand losing you, you wouldn’t be the first
And anyway we’re all alone late at night in our beds
With ourselves
