Count it down— Three… two… one… Met you in a flash of light In a room that didn’t feel like mine I was wearing someone else’s face Trying not to take up space You said, “You okay?” like you knew Like you saw through what I do And my heartbeat hit the floor Like a warning siren in a war I don’t do feelings, I do control I don’t show damage, I keep it cold But you stepped close and I lost my view Now everything starts with you This is ground zero Where my walls go down Where my “don’t get close” turns into “don’t go now” This is ground zero One look, no sound And I’m shaking like a city when it all comes down If I’m a secret, you’re the spark If I’m a shadow, you’re the start This is ground zero Don’t save me— I don’t want out (Oh-oh) Don’t want out (Oh-oh) Don’t want out Every smile is a loaded gun Every touch is a hit-and-run I’m addicted to the danger, babe To the way you say my name On the surface I’m made of gold Underneath I’m a fault-line exposed If you pull too hard I might split But you pull me in like it’s meant I don’t do feelings, I do control I don’t show damage, I keep it cold But you stepped close and I lost my view Now everything starts with you This is ground zero Where my walls go down Where my “don’t get close” turns into “don’t go now” This is ground zero One look, no sound And I’m shaking like a city when it all comes down If I’m a secret, you’re the spark If I’m a shadow, you’re the start This is ground zero Don’t save me— I don’t want out If you knew what I’m made of, would you still stay? If you saw the backstage, would you run away? I’m a pretty little hurricane in a perfect dress I’m a yes that tastes like danger and a no I can’t confess This is ground zero Where my walls go down Where my “don’t get close” turns into “don’t go now” This is ground zero One look, no sound And I’m shaking like a city when it all comes down If I’m a secret, you’re the spark If I’m a shadow, you’re the start This is ground zero Don’t save me— I don’t want out Three… two… one… (And everything starts now.)
