​spinning plates lyrics

[Verse 1]
Peel me back, on the inside, I'm red
Miss a spot and your insides will shred
I only grow when you give me the space
Water me, not a drop goes to waste
I'm twenty-eight, on borrowed time
Looking good for the end of my life
None will dare get beyond the skin
Worth protecting
What am I?

[Chorus]
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you?
What if I told you I am flawed only by design? Ooh, ooh
I don't wanna love you back
'Cause when you see, I'm not all that
It'll hit you like whiplash

[Verse 2]
Spinning plates I was always gonna break
No receipts to return, override it
Anticipate that this feeling's one-sided
When you see me how I see me, you won't like it

[Chorus]
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you?
What if I told you I am flawed only by design? Ooh, ooh
I don't wanna love you back
'Cause when you see, I'm not all that
It'll hit you like whiplash
