| 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 say this, the best parts were hush, hush (what you waited for tonight,
|
| tonight)
|
| The best parts were pure luck
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
