I keep this house too clean to fall apart Every frame in place, every wall, a work of art But you saw the one night it all came undone Mascara and whiskey, calling out for someone And now you look at me like you know Like you saw what's underneath the gold I should pull away, I should let you go But you keep standing in my doorway, so I call you little sister, keep it light, keep it sweet Pretend my hands don't shake when we're too close to speak I'm perfectly fine, perfectly fine, I swear But my perfume's still caught in your hair I ruffle your hair, I tease, I brush it off Anything to keep this feeling at arm's length enough You bring me water, you don't ask me why You just sit there quiet while I try not to cry And now you look at me like you know Like you saw what's underneath the gold I should pull away, I should let you go But you keep standing in my doorway, so I call you little sister, keep it light, keep it sweet Pretend my hands don't shake when we're too close to speak I'm perfectly fine, perfectly fine, I swear But my perfume's still caught in your hair You grabbed my wrist, pushed me against the wall Said you already know, said you heard it all Every wall I built, every line I drew Falling slow, falling soft, falling for you Stop calling me your sister, it's not enough I can't keep pretending that this isn't love I'm not perfectly fine, not fine at all, it's true Maybe I've been waiting to be caught by you So catch me now, before I close the door again Catch me now, don't let this end
