I wrap my flaws in ribbon
And mask it with perfume
Stay out too late more than I should
So I look cool to you
I made it my addiction to be part of every room
You call yourself the Sun, I do my best to be the Moon

I want to be inked in, I'll settle for being written in chalk
I'm there 'cause it's easy, I know where I stand, just as I thought

That I don't belong anywhere
I'm just there to be there
I'll show up where I'm wanted
And I think I'm too drunk to care
But I'll still do my hair
I'll show up where I'm wanted
I'm always around waiting up for your call
'Cause I'm like a moth to a flame
And now I resent that I bothered at all
Guess I know my place
And maybe it's better that way

I'm too good at pretending that I don't live in my skin
I'll have a new identity dependin' who I'm with
And if I laid myself on the table, would you like who I was
If I laid my guard down, would you still keep in touch, 'cause

I want to be inked in, I'll settle for being written in chalk
I'm there 'cause it's easy, I know where I stand, just as I thought

That I don't belong anywhere
I'm just there to be there
I'll show up where I'm wanted
And I think I'm too drunk to care
But I'll still do my hair
I'll show up where I'm wanted
I'm always around waiting up for your call
'Cause I'm like a moth to a flame
And now I resent that I bothered at all
Guess I know my place
And maybe it's better that way

And I don't want to make any trouble at all
I know anyway, it's better to go without say
That I know my place
And maybe it's better that way
