[Verse 1]
I used to wear my choices like a crown
Thought every step I took was safe and sound
I called it freedom, called it knowing who I am
But I was drunk on my reflection, high on every plan
I kissed the mirror like it never could be wrong
Swore that every shattered piece was making me strong
I didn’t see the fault line under my feet
Till all the people that I loved were underneath
[Chorus]
I’m on the borderline
Bеtween the best and worst of me
Whеre love turns into knives
And cuts through everything I see
I reach out for control
But it keeps slipping out of sight
I’m just a passenger
In the crash of my own life
[Verse 2]
I watched your heartbreak play out in your eyes
From where you stood it must have looked like lies
You saw a villain drawing circles in the sand
But I was just a trembling, unfamiliar hand
I pulled the trigger thinking it was just a game
Only later learned the target had my name
I never meant to make you bleed that way
I was losing grip on who was in the frame
[Chorus]
I’m on the borderline
Between the best and worst of me
Where love turns into knives
And cuts through everything I see
I reach out for control
But it keeps slipping out of sight
I’m just a passenger
In the crash of my own life
[Bridge]
Some days I’m the king of all my roads
Some days I’m chained to choices I don’t know
I pull the strings and still feel like a puppet
Watching my own wreck in slow-motion, can’t stop it
You think I planned every scar that I gave
But half the time I’m just a wave in a wave
[Chorus]
I’m on the borderline
Between the best and worst of me
Where love turns into knives
And cuts through everything I see
I reach out for control
But it keeps slipping out of sight
I’m just a passenger
In the crash of my own life
[Outro]
If I could rewind the frames and slow them down
I’d learn to drop the gun, to drop the crown
But all I have is now and this thin white line
Trying not to cross it one more time
