[Verse 1]
Your eyes, they conjure up those Cliffs of Moher
Far away and not listening anymore
Dreaming of life on another shore
Not here, not now, with me the bore
[Pre-Chorus]
So I stopped talking and fade to bleak
Feeling insignificant after feeling weak
Even though it's not who I know myself to be
The queen, the confidence
Doesn't speak
[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest
[Verse 2]
Your eyes, they drown me in your sadness
Your words, they bring hurricanes
I'm braving Shakespearian tempest
The mighty tiger doesn't blink
[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest
[Bridge]
I think you were the one
Silent suffering inside
The one who got away
I was too dangerous to hide
[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest
[Outro]
So I stopped talking, baby, 'cause you always want to shut up
Take the center stage meanwhile I become your trusted silent prop
So take good care, this mighty woman's ready to explode
Fire here below the surface of my volcano
Your eyes, they conjure up those Cliffs of Moher
Far away and not listening anymore
Dreaming of life on another shore
Not here, not now, with me the bore
[Pre-Chorus]
So I stopped talking and fade to bleak
Feeling insignificant after feeling weak
Even though it's not who I know myself to be
The queen, the confidence
Doesn't speak
[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest
[Verse 2]
Your eyes, they drown me in your sadness
Your words, they bring hurricanes
I'm braving Shakespearian tempest
The mighty tiger doesn't blink
[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest
[Bridge]
I think you were the one
Silent suffering inside
The one who got away
I was too dangerous to hide
[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest
[Outro]
So I stopped talking, baby, 'cause you always want to shut up
Take the center stage meanwhile I become your trusted silent prop
So take good care, this mighty woman's ready to explode
Fire here below the surface of my volcano
