"Am I Safe" lyrics

"Am I Safe"

All these things keep runnin' through my mind
Everyone and everything I left behind
Standing in the cold, grey dawn watching cars go by
All these things keep runnin' through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe if I don't wanna be with you?

Every day my heart sinks like a stone
Carries me away into the undertow
At the bottom there's no air, there's no sound or light
Know these things keep runnin' through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe if I don't wanna be with you?
Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe if I don't wanna be with you?

On my way back home I see a house on fire
I close my eyes, what if it was mine?
It's complicated, I just don't love you anymore
I just want to sit here and watch it burn
Sit and watch it burn

Setting like a sun into the wild
Running from myself like when I was a child
Pictures hanging on the wall when we used to smile
All these things keep runnin' through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe if I don't wanna be with you?
Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe if I don't wanna be with you?

If I don't wanna be with you
