Lyrics
Silence in the rooftops of my eye lids
Where there's nothing but silence
In an ideal world am I perfect?
Am I perfect?
That feeling when you're so alone
That feeling when you're on your own
My chest tight, my chest tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight, just hold tight
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
But I see, but I see
Is it me?
Ohh
Silence in the attics of my eyelids
Where there's nothing but silence
When I'm older will I be perfect?
Am I perfect?
My chest tight, my chest tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight, just hold tight
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
But I see, but I see
Is it me?
Ohh
