You call me at three
Say it was just a mistake
But the scent on your jacket
Tells me everything you fake

Your crooked smile trembles
When I look you in the eyes
You stumble on your stories
But I stumble on us every time

I look at the door
You stare at your screen
Which one of us two
Is still in between?

Short circuit in me
When you get too close (hey)
Half of me wants to run
Half wants your heartbeat most

I'm burning underneath
Raw skin
Exposed nerve energy
You touch me and I freeze
Short circuit in me

Your friends raise a toast
To the perfect couple lie
I smile
Swallow hard
See the truth behind your eyes

Your footsteps in my bedroom
Don't match the words you use
Every I swear
It's the last time
Turns into another bruise

I look in the mirror
See the damage there
Who did I become
Giving you the stage to tear?

Short circuit in me
When you get too close (yeah)
Half of me wants to scream
Half still wants your kiss

I'm bleeding underneath
Broken lock inside of me
You touch me and I freeze
Short circuit in me

Say it low
Say my name
Like there's still a chance to save

But your touch consumes me
Doesn't fit this skin

If I walk away now
Will I find myself?
Or take this ghost with me
Into someone else?

Short circuit in me
When you get too close
Half of me wants to disappear
Half still wants your body most

I'm tearing from the inside
Disconnecting every wire from you
You touch me and I break
Short circuit in me

Short circuit in me (in me)
Short circuit in me
