Shortcut Lyrics

I don't wanna open up

I don't wanna open my eyes, I'm keeping 'em closed

And hoping you'll get out before it's light

See I just wanna leave me here

I just wanna leave myself behind

So that when I really wake up

No part of me will have to hide, no

I was just looking for a little taste

But now I'm wondering if it was all a waste

Let you cut corners around everything

Skipping all the steps up into my identity

Cause the first cut might hurt the deepest

But a shortcut, it hurts the cheapest

I didn't wanna give you all

I didn't wanna give you all of me

See I was just looking

For somebody to kill the lonely

But now that you've seen me

Now that you've seen me in a way deeper than most

It feels so shallow

I was just looking for a little taste

But now I'm wondering if it was all a waste

Let you cut corners around everything

Skipping all the steps up into my identity

Cause the first cut might hurt the deepest

But a shortcut, it hurts the cheapest

You can't see what's inside

I'm just a moment in time

Just a place I can hide

We can't see what's inside

We're just a moment in time

Just a place we can hide

I don't wanna open up

I don't wanna open my eyes

I'm keeping them closed
