The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I saw a car a really nice car

And I knew this car was gonna get me far

Flaming red runs like a jet

And I don't get why it isn't mine yet

Oh, this car is gonna bring me home

I rely on my fear alone

Get by on my pain

I deny that I'm to blame

For you to be down so low

I saw a man a really nice man

And to reel him in I do whatever I can

A smile so bold not exactly old

And I don't really get why he isn't mine yet

Oh, this man is gonna take me home

He's gonna save me

I rely on my fear alone

Get by on my pain

I deny that I'm to blame

For you to be down so low

I rely on my fear alone

Get by on my pain

I deny that I'm to blame

For you to be down so low

I saw a bird a beautiful bird

If I could steal its wings I would get what I deserve

I'll stand my ground high up in the clouds

And escape my responsibilities

I rely on my fear alone

Get by on my pain

I deny that I'm to blame

For you to be down so low

I rely on my fear alone

Get by on my pain

I deny that I'm to blame

For you to be down so low

I am 100% imperfect

I am 100% alone

I rely on my fear alone

Get by on my pain

I rely on my fear alone

Alone
