contention Lyrics

Stuck outside my own life

Like a dog tied to a lamppost

Drown in the dark so I can feel anything

Other than disgust

I am alone, I am alive, I am afraid to breathe

I am afraid to show you something you don't wanna see

But would you wanna see me, in your sweatshirt

Waiting in your bedroom

Your expression

Leaves me guessing

Won't learn my lesson

Not to mention

Some contention

For your attention

I'm ripping paper again

Can't find the seatbelt when you take me for a spin

I leave the table again

If I have strings attached I guess I'll never win

I am alone, I am alive, I am afraid to breathe

I am afraid to show you something you don't wanna see

But would you wanna see me, in your sweatshirt

Waiting in your bedroom

No, I don't smoke, am I a joke, or am I what you need

I'll be the one you call when lust has overtaken greed

Would you want me, waiting in your bedroom

Your expression

Leaves me guessing

Won't learn my lesson

Not to mention

Some contention

For your attention

I am alone, I am alive, I am afraid to breathe

I am afraid to show you something you don't wanna see

But would you wanna see me, in your sweatshirt

Waiting in your bedroom

No, I don't smoke, am I a joke, or am I what you need

I'll be the one you call when lust has overtaken greed

Would you want me, waiting in your bedroom

Your expression

Leaves me guessing

Won't learn my lesson

Not to mention

Some contention

For your attention
