|
Just like cellophane |
|
You try to cling so tight to me |
|
Your attempts in vain |
|
You've less sincerity than the plastic |
|
Paper in the rain |
|
The print appears so bright to me |
|
The words remain |
|
I hold it to the light, |
|
I see right through |
|
So eager to say, "Hello" but you don't know me |
|
You just know what you see |
|
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me |
|
Before you knew would you have felt the same? |
|
Just when |
|
I'm inspired |
|
You drain the drive right outta me |
|
Even when |
|
I'm tiredYou push me to perform for your amusement |
|
Like raging fire |
|
You burn what's left inside of me |
|
To fulfill your desire |
|
I'd give you light till |
|
I burned out |
|
So eager to say "Hello" but you don't know me |
|
You just know what you see |
|
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me |
|
Before you knew would you have felt the same? |
|
NoJust when you start to smile |
|
I look into your eyes and see |
|
Your veiled denial |
|
To express any real emotion |
|
Wait around awhile |
|
You'll lose what you once had for me |
|
I'll be out of style |
|
I'll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned |
|
So eager to say, "Hello" but you don't know me |
|
You just know what you see |
|
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me |
|
Before you knew would you have felt the same? |
