[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
You are about to witness
The most death-defying leap ever attempted
Watch her closely

[Verse 1]
The words, they don't come easy
But the feelings come all strong
I know words should make me happy
If sometimes I play along
My chest on set fire, there's no burnin' in my lungs
Just an empty space I've labeled as
"The things that I should love"

[Pre-Chorus]
All that cuts through
Is the fear of what I'll lose
I was born a welfarе baby
With the blisters in my shoes
Prеtendin' that I'm small
'Cause I'd be in trouble if I grew
Pretendin' I was fine
'Cause I'd be in trouble if they knew (Trouble if they knew)

[Chorus]
I've been confusing afraid and well-behaved
Been sacrificin' things that I want because I thought
That it would make me brave
And since the pastor kicked me out because of tithes that went unpaid
I don't waste my time at all, nobody answers when I pray
Are you good at charades? (Oh, oh)
Can you see that I'm bleeding on the stage?
Can you feel the things I'm screamin' even when I cannot say?
I don't talk to God, I don't talk at all
I'm quiet most these days
So are you good at charades?
[Verse 2]
Three words and four syllables
Doctor told me I'm not invincible
But I've been livin' like I was for far too long
A big world feelin' real small now
Every day, I'm dizzy in the roundabout
Daddy told me that he won't be coming around

[Pre-Chorus]
The only way that I'll get through
Is to tell them that I refuse
'Cause I was born a welfare baby
So I got nothing left to lose
And I'm pretendin' it don't hurt
'Cause I know somehow I'll make do
I know exactly how to be alone
Because it's all I ever knew

[Chorus]
I'm afraid to feel like a burden, so I lie awake
Try not to get too attached 'cause I know that they'll leave anyway
Ever since that pastor kicked me out because of tithes that went unpaid
I don't waste my time at all, nobody answers when I pray
Are you good at charades? (Oh, oh)
Can you see that I'm bleeding on the stage?
Can you feel the things I'm screamin' even when I cannot say?
I don't talk to God, I don't talk at all
I'm quiet most these days
So, are you good at charades? Are you any good at charades?
[Outro]
Maybe you and I, we should play
Should we give it a go, 'cause nobody knows?
At the end of the day, it's just a harmless game
Well, I don't wanna give it away
And I know you could get it if you paid attention
Are you good at charades?
Are you any good at charades? Mm
