"spinning plates" lyrics

Peel me back, on the inside I'm red
Miss a spot, and your insides will shred

I only grow when you give me the space
Water me, not a drop goes to waste

I'm twenty-eight, on borrowed time
Looking good for the end of my life

None will dare get beyond the skin
Worth protecting
What am I?

What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?
To you?

What if I told you I am
Flawed only by design, ooh, ooh

I don't wanna love you back
'Cause when you see, I'm not all that
It'll hit you like whiplash

Spinning plates
I was always gonna break
No receipts to return, override it
Anticipate that this feeling's one-sided

When you see me how I see me
You won't like it

What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?
To you?

What if I told you I am
Flawed only by design, ooh, ooh

I don't wanna love you back
'Cause when you see, I'm not all that
It'll hit you like whiplash
