lyrics

In one photograph: a million thoughts I could attach.
But you choose to be so cool and cover all the truth to lure anything to feed your ego: a game of superficial bingo.
It’s a shame I know the truth: all that beauty thrown aloof.

Now.
I guess that’s fine.
It’s your life and no one else’s place to judge.
So go on.
Continue.
If you can’t find the words:
Wonder.
When you’re all alone.
Can that keep you warm?
When there’s no one there and all the traffic is through.
But who else is there to blame?
You spent your time in a toxic vile.
You never cared that you let him fall away.

Too busy playing games.
I don’t think you will ever change.
I don’t care what you say.

So feed the beast that lingers over your existence if it’s so boring that you rehashed all your days gone by.
I will try my best to keep my thoughts close to my chest, as I know how you love the drama.

Now.
I guess that’s fine. It’s your life and no one else’s place to judge.
So go on.
Continue.
If you can’t find the words:
Wonder.
When you’re all alone.
Can that keep you warm?
When there’s no one there and all the traffic is through.
But who else is there to blame?
You spent your time in a toxic vile.
You never cared that you let him fall away.

Too busy playing games.
I don’t think you will ever change.
I don’t care what you say.

I don’t care babe. I don’t care what they’re telling you!
When you’re all alone I want to be by your side because I’m all right. I want to be with you every night.
