Verse 1
I know I don’t come with a Warning Label, but
I think you should know that you’re wasting your time on me.
I appreciate the effort, but you’re all worn out,
And I think you should know that you’re wasting your time on me.
I always malfunction and I never turn off, and these lights are to pull you in.
All my switches are broken, and my batteries are dead, and these
Pretty parts are the broken heart that I’m trying to fix.
Chorus
Recall, the Warning Label never printed off. Warning, return them now or beware of faults.
Verse 2
Trying to talk some sense into you. Now that you’ve spent your time, you can never get it back.
My case, custom made, is a little too cozy.
And I think you should know that you’re wasting yourself on me. I can’t hit the high notes, I’m reluctant out of bed, and the light’s out behind this eye.
I will never understand why you waste your time on me, but these
Pretty parts are the broken heart that you’re willing to fix.
Chorus (2x)
Beauty comes in a box sometimes, it has no manual, no designs.
I’m warning you I come without, but you are so determined.
I’m telling you my screw’s too tight, you tell me left and I’ll go right.
Everything about me’s off, and still you willingly pay with yourself (x2)

Verse 1
Hope seeps in uninvited, though I’ve tried so hard to deny it. Everything is going according to plan.
You have fallen directly into my arms, and I have spared myself the harm of chasing after someone
who’ll never see me.
Chorus
Oh no, I am halfway hopeful, something I have never been before.
Oh no, I am halfway hopeful, it’s something I’ve never been.
Verse 2
After months of sleepless dreaming, isolated fruitless scheming, I can finally call you my own.
You have seen the entirety of me, and have decided as in dreams, that I am worth the effort
of opening your world.
Chorus (Repeat)
Elementary basics of life, always look for the other side.
But I forget everything I knew when I’m with you.
Words cease when I look into your eyes, endless light across diamond skies, and I’m lost
