In a bar they see my stormy hair
The way it rages everywhere
From afar they don't know
It's just as dark beneath it all
Go ask my lovers what I'm like
And they'll tell you I'm only nice at midnight
They won't mention, I crack open
Just so they can peer inside
No, they'll tell you I'm devilish
I can't take a compliment
I mean, for the hell of it
For the hell of it
I'll tell you one thing they don't know
Struggling with love is a criminal
We're all different when we fall
They're only pissed cause I let them go
How, how, how, how
It should have been
I'm awake
Right now you'll be running scared
And I won't tell you all my flaws
So you know when I have claws
They aren't because of something you did
Or something you said
Or the touch of your hand
But don't use them against me
I don't make my mind at you
Your feet
You can pick the ugly parts and throw them back at me
One thing you should know
Struggling with love isn't criminal
We're all different when we fall
Don't be pissed if I let you go
How, how, how, how
How, how, how, how
Don't be pissed if I let you go
It's tough, baby, I'm aware
Right now you'll be running scared
But don't demonize me
The way my mind's gonna demonize you
Don't you see what I'm saying?
I'm scared of being held onto
But if you're so curious
And you don't wanna believe them
Go ahead, come close
I'll let you in
I'll hold your hand
When I feel like it
I'll drop the bar a few thousand times
But I'll pick them all up
And I'll claim them as mine
How, how, how, how
It's tough, baby, I'm aware
Right now you'll be running scared
I'll tell you one thing they don't know
Struggling with love isn't criminal
We're all different when we fall
Don't be pissed if I let you go
How, how, how, how
How, how, how, how
It's tough, baby, I'm aware
Right now you'll be running scared
Running scared
