Subliminal
[Verse 1]
I've been screaming, let me know
How many somebodies have grown up subliminal?
Keepin' their heart turned off for years at a time, livin' without a hope
Anchored at a hotel, how many days to go?

[Pre-Chorus]
Love me at an arm's length, don't let me get too close
Never see the sun set, spares you pain when it goes
You kept from the fire
Still you burn, oh

[Chorus]
Still your heart is burnin' up
I can tell it's obvious you're
Too afraid to fall in love
Still your heart is burnin' up

[Verse 2]
Would you never know the secret
Your heart keeps in silence
In burning, in seasons
In love, you believe, but

[Pre-Chorus]
You kept me at an arm's length, don't let me get too close
Never see the sun set, spares you pain when it goes
You kept from the fire
But still you burn, oh
[Chorus]
Still your heart is burnin' up
I can tell it's obvious you're
Too afraid to fall in love
Still your heart is burnin' up

[Post-Chorus]
Still your heart is burnin' up
I can tell it's obvious you're
Too afraid to fall in love
Still your heart is burnin' up

[Bridge]
I can see the bullet holes, you're bleeding out
While trying to keep it in control
Wanting to change me before you love me
Tell me what's easier
Stitchin' up the wound or hopin' the pressure holds

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who you want now, someone who's perfect? Oh
Afraid that I would mirror every flaw that's subliminal
Oh, you kept from the fire
Still you burn, oh

[Chorus]
Still your heart is burnin' up (Hey)
I can tell it's obvious you're
Too afraid to fall in love (Fall in love)
Still your heart is burnin' up
[Post-Chorus]
Still your heart is burnin' up
I can tell it's obvious you're (Obvious, hey)
Too afraid to fall in love
Still your heart is burnin' up (No, no, no)
