Dogfight

You set me on fire
I was your blaze of glory
I was your favourite story, now I'm
Burning out
Armed with a smile
It's kinda like method acting
Until the surface starts cracking
It's hard to describe it and hold it down
You can blame me for trying to separate
Blood from the water
Call me crazy but baby, I never wanted to stand in the corner

This time
I'm not waiting for another red light
I'm not gonna be someone I don't like
Like I'm used to being
Hell, it's been rough
It's been a dogfight
There's someone in the mirror that I don't recognise
He's kinda familiar, but he's lost
And this time
I'm not losing me
I'm not losing me

I'm checking my vitals
For any sign of a heartbeat
I've been a ghost at the party
Forever now
I'm realising
That if I'm just faking
Then my time's just wasted
What's the point in anything, anyway?

This time
I'm not waiting for another red light
I'm not gonna be someone I don't like
Like I'm used to being
Hell, it's been rough
It's been a dogfight
There's someone in the mirror that I don't recognise
He's kinda familiar, but he's lost
And this time
I'm not losing me
Oh, I'm not losing me

I'm not losing me
I'm not losing me
I'm not losing me
I'm not losing me, yeah
I'm not losing me
I'm not losing me, oh
I'm not losing me

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright, alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Be alright
