You, yourself, and i

Burning House EP, 2017

Written by Graci Phillips & Katie Stump

You think you’re like an Oscar Wilde

And you got this fire burning on the tip of your tongue 

You think you’ve got the golden touch

And you’re worth too much 

To think that you could ever be wrong

Oh caught in the middle of 

A tug-o-war for your attention

But I can’t compete with your reflection

Leave me in the dark after you promise me the moon

Empty words strung up in stars 

You knew could do no harm to you

Hit me with the knives

This time I’m ready for the fight

Between you, yourself, and I

Treat your sentences like works of art

Think they’ll get you far

Earn you the attention that you love

All hail, king of California

But your reign of heartbreaks about to end now

So lose the crown, because I’m done bowing down

Leave me in the dark after you promise me the moon

Empty words strung up in stars 

You knew could do no harm to you

Hit me with the knives

This time I’m ready for the fight

Between you, yourself, and I

My head is spinning and I need some quiet, quiet

I’m done with putting up with all your lying, lying

My head is spinning and I need some quiet, quiet 

God knows I’m sick of it, cause you’re so full of shhhhh

Leave me in the dark after you promise me the moon

Empty words strung up in stars 

You knew could do no harm to you

Hit me with the knives

This time I’m ready for the fight

Between you, yourself, and I

Between you, yourself, and I
