Tests on My Heart - Umbrellas

If they did tests on my heart

I think that maybe they would start believing

All the stories that I tell them

Like how sometimes I can barely breathe

For no apparent reason other than I thought some bad thoughts

These nerves are falling apart

And my fingernails stay short

I keep telling myself «You've got to get over yourself»

I don’t want you to save me

'Cause what if you did, you’d succeed

And then you would get bored and leave

I’d be back at square one

And that is such a bad place to begin

We sent all of our sins into the sea

And we set it on fire, we’re an island now

I don’t know if I can take the pressure it creates

To be a self-sustaining industry

So we’ll tell ourselves we’ve got what it takes

And all we need is a little time to dry off

I don’t want you to save me

'Cause what if you did, you’d succeed

And you would leave

I’d be back at square one

And that is such a bad place to begin
