Scale by CC Lyrics
[Verse One]
So, on a scale of one to ten
I'd give myself seven deadly sins
Two for my soul, and two for my brain, and three for me being insane
And on a scale of none to nine
I'd rate myself a half alive
Although, you can't split nine in two
So, one to ten, I turn back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you think you know me well
Because you don't, and I can tell
So just give up and walk away
And you won't have to feel an ounce of shame
And tell yourself that you are fine
Although, on a scale from none to nine
You're clearly not feeling too well
So just give up, because I can tell that
[Chorus]
You aren't even trying
You're laughing while someone's dying
You think that you're fine
But only because your health's declined
[Verse Two]
Now, don't you try to talk to me
You still won't help, it's plain to see
The exit's right there, if you didn't know
On a scale of one to ten, I rate you a no
If you ever act oh, so concerned
I'll force you to eat your words
I'll shut you out, it's what I do
And I don't know how to undo
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you think you know me well
Because you don't, and I can tell
So just give up and walk away
And you won't have to feel an ounce of shame
And tell yourself that you are fine
Although, on a scale from none to nine
You're clearly not feeling too well
So just give up, because I can tell that
[Chorus]
You aren't even trying
You're laughing while someone's dying
You think that you're fine
But only because your health's declined
[Verse Three]
Drawing pictures of nothingness
Falling into a deep abyss
An abyss, that's all you've ever known
Knowing you'll most likely wind up alone, now
On a scale of none to nine
I think I might finally rate myself a fine
Because others helped, just not quite you
I'm sorry, but you wouldn't do, no
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you think you know me well
Because you don't, and I can tell
So just give up and walk away
And you won't have to feel an ounce of shame
And tell yourself that you are fine
Although, on a scale from none to nine
You're clearly not feeling too well
So just give up, because I can tell that
[Chorus]
You aren't even trying
You're laughing while someone's dying
You think that you're fine
But only because your health's declined
[Bridge]
So, on a scale of one to ten
I'd give myself seven deadly sins
Two for my soul, and two for my brain, and three for me being insane
And on a scale of none to nine
I'd rate myself a half alive
Although, you can't split nine in two
So, one to ten, I turn back to you and
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you think you know me well
Because you don't, and I can tell

You're clearly not feeling too well
So just give up, because I can tell that
[Chorus]
You aren't even trying
You're laughing while someone's dying
You think that you're fine
But only because your health's declined
You aren't even trying
You're laughing while someone's dying
You think that you're fine
So, on a scale of one to ten
I'd give myself seven deadly sins
Two for my soul, and two for my brain, and three for me being insane
And on a scale of none to nine
