"contact lenses" lyrics

I lost all my perspective
I think I need contact lenses
I just can't quite make no sense of this
I know we're young
I know we're reckless
That's why I get terrified each night that I sleep by your side

Like what if you need me less?
What if you're still not over your ex?
If I went broke, would you still stay by?
If I never got signed, would you still be mine?
What if we're better off friends?
What if our love's under false pretense?
If I weren't there on your birthday night
Would you still care, would you hold me tight?

'Cause I need love
I need it now
I don't give a fuck if the money makes the world go 'round
'Cause I need love
I need it now
I couldn't give a fuck for the money, if you ain't around
'Cause I need

Some intangible affection
People listening to me through personalized TV screens
And I'm a whore for their attention
I try to keep my smile alive
But I feel like I'm dead inside

Like what if I fall off quick?
What if this next song isn't that hit?
What if my friends all think I'm lame?
What if I'm tired of the numbers game?
And what if my ceiling's reached?
What if I peaked at the age of 18?
Say I don't care what they say about me
Say I don't care, but it's weighing on me

'Cause I need love
I need it now
And I don't give a fuck if the money makes the world go around (No, no)
'Cause I need love
I need it now
Couldn't give a fuck for the money, if you ain't around

I lost all of my perspective
I think I need contact lenses
I just can't quite make no sense of this
