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.
Collapsible people
Folding under the weight of better times and broken spines
You crumble to tears, but you're never here
A poise to appear, like you could
Never crave attention
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You're full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
Fall, stumble on words
'Cause nothings unheard
But could you go and stand on your own?
A place in the crowd
A place to back down
Another wish to be alone
Wish to be alone
Do you crave attention?
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You're full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
You seem to forget, that infectious words
Are words to regret, infected and proud
A part of the crowd
Wondering how?
You could, keep up face
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Do you crave attention?
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You're full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
You love every passer by
