Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I feel I'm watered down
Whenever he's around
I put on the crown of clowns
And melt slowly to the ground
Yeah, I feel it comin' on
When I've been static for too long
And an explosion comes in time
Before I go and cross the line
[Verse 2]
They say, "You used to be so kind
I never knew you had such a dirty mind"
Well, I went to the doctors believin'
The Devil had control over me and
I was finding it hard to breathe in
Finding it hard to fight the feelin'
[Verse 3]
When my heart just bursts like a glass balloon
I let it fly too high, and it shattered to soon
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I broke my glass balloon, I let go of my glass balloon
[Verse 4]
They call him Hermit the Frog
He's lookin' for a dog
Did you find your bitch in me?
Oh, you're abominable, socially
You're just a little bit too much like me
[Verse 5]
She says, "She used to be so kind"
Well, baby, I give you your dirty mind
Well, I, I wanna tell you a secret
You can take your double standard, love, and keep it
I can't help the Devil likes to make my heart a double bed
And I can't help he sometimes likes to come and rest his little head
[Verse 6]
When my heart just bursts like a glass balloon
I let it fly too high, and it shattered to soon
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
I broke my glass balloon, I let go of my glass balloon
[Verse 7]
Oh, my heart just burst like a glass balloon
We let them fly too high, and they shattered too soon
Are we the wrong damn people in the wrong damn room?
We broke our glass balloons, we let go of our glass balloons
We broke our glass balloon, let go of my glass balloon
