i'm covering up with these new (old) covers
so very afraid (aren't i the weak one?) to look at the light
warm me up with the lovely (bitter) summer's warmth
i'm afraid to be cold tonight

a rose doesn't smell as sweet if it's not the colour of you
i adore it (you..) from afar
you flickered close (you flickered far)
you blew (sick, twisted whore) yourself out
like this melting candle
you spinned so close and spinned so far
you've lost your grip

the stars never looked so blank
gravity can't keep me half as down as you can
the moon never looked so pale
i'm more alone without you, whoever knew
it's like a stupid, silly saturday morning cartoon
the villain walks away with my prize
i saved the world that he threatened but he gets the girl
and these super powers are nothing to your x ray stare
i'm lost in a girl that doesn't know i exist
we will never
be together
so play me like an arcade
when it's game over
you move on to the next machine
please can you play me again?
put in another quarter.
