Your self destruction has become mine |
|
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes |
|
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories |
|
You forsake all loyalties for lies |
|
You're too late to decide |
|
This can't go right |
|
Cause I got this tonight, |
|
I got this tonight |
|
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become) |
|
After you read this (were they yours or mine) |
|
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought) |
|
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find) |
|
I need to say this (what you waited for) |
|
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight) |
|
The best parts were pure luck (tonight) |
|
But I swore that this time |
|
I was more than your hook up |
|
Those vacant eyes looking back |
|
To see your words under my skin |
|
And I am more than a moment |
|
But I had to give in |
|
A person gets just one chance |
|
To say what they really mean |
|
You said yours, I'll say mine |
|
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19 |
|
The best years have passed you by |
|
The best years have already passed |
|
You forsake all loyalties for lies |
|
You forsake all loyalties for lies |
|
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound) |
|
Together from this town (we can work this out) |
|
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength) |
|
To let his guard down (I said everything) |
|
You played me so well (enjoy your time left) |
|
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame) |
|
From underneath my feet |
|
I thought we were floating |
|
Those vacant eyes looking back |
|
To see your words under my skin |
|
And I am more than a moment |
|
But I had to give in |
|
A person gets just one chance |
|
To say what they really mean |
|
You said yours, I'll say mine |
|
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19 |
|
The best years have passed you by |
|
The best years have already passed you by |
|
Is this the world passing by? |
|
Or is it turning, turning? |
|
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself |
|
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself |
|
Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning |
|
Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away |
|
All this time the world I knew was turning, turning |
|
All this time that I loved you |
|
You were turning, turning away |
