It's like a weapon how you cut me down to size
Try not to smile when you throw everything on my front lawn
So much for self reception

Tell me one thing baby, do you see your shadow
Walking beside you
With the palm trees high above your head?

You stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Don't let them break you. I'll never let them break through.
I'll never tell them that
You stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Spaced out thinking why I try so hard to fit these circles into squares.

Don't let success go to your head
Like that drink that made you sink
Into this hole you call yourself
And when the tables turn

Tell me one thing baby, do you see your shadow
Walking beside you
With the palm trees high above your head?

You stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Don't let them break you. I'll never let them break through.
I'll never tell them that
You stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Spaced out thinking why I try so hard to fit these circles into squares.

Write me off a short list of the trophy boys
Whose past must have set you off on
Honey what's the word on the street
You've got me somewhat open
I'm willing and hoping you know
Write me off a short list of the trophy boys
Just spill your secrets to me.

You stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Don't let them break you. I'll never let them break through.
I'll never tell them that
You stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Spaced out thinking why I try so hard to fit these circles into squares.

You stand so tall
Don't let them break you
The only one you can trust
Don't spill your secrets to me.
