lyrics

Verse 1:
I've got this feeling in my head and I swear it started in my lungs
I'm sure you've heard it all before but it's nice to meet someone who won't run
I know I'm still rough around the edges, I'm polished but not perfected
As I stand in this fire, let it fuel my desires and burn my impurities.

Chorus:
Tell me love what's a boy to do?
The world is waiting and I can see it in my view
My fingers cling to the threads of my doubt patched on truth
My fears have been aired out
So what's it all about?
I'll be the one to prove that I'm the exception to the rule

Verse 2:
Hold your hands just high enough to cover your eyes
'Cause once the smoke clears it reveals what you hide inside:
A little boy age of 23
Nowhere to go as the debt collectors come to find me
I wish security came with my degree
Instead it hangs here aimlessly
When I fall, I fall hard
When I go for it, I go for it with my all
You're not gonna break me
You're not gonna take me down that easy

Chorus:
Tell me love what's a boy to do?
The world is waiting and I can see it in my view
My fingers cling to the threads of my doubt patched on truth
My fears have been aired out
So what's it all about?
I'll be the one to prove that I'm the exception to the rule

Bridge:
The flames are getting higher
And my words are burned away in the fire
No you're not gonna break me
And I'm not going down that easy
