king of scene
you were a star
you thought because you played guitar
you had it all
but who knows what tomorrow brings
fame don't exist without some strings
and you got tangled up
somehow you tripped and fell
on the primrose path of dalliance
let go of my hand
and slipped out of my life
and 5 years later on
you've become a cautionary tale
you used to be great
but now there's nothing left at all
nothing left of you
and curled up naked in a ball
you tell me all about the cars
and the women all the odd jobs
you still can't see where you went wrong
you still can't find the words to
string together a solitary thought
somehow you tripped and fell
on the primrose path of dalliance
let go of my hand
and slipped out of my life
and 5 years later on
you've become a cautionary tale
you used to be great
but now there's nothing left at all
I used to think you had it all
I used to wish I could be yours
and tell you all my secrets and my dreams
and now I'm lying in yr arms
cos I just wish that you would go
you just make me feel like a fool for believing in you

i know
what you say
it's not alright
ain't ok
you lying
is nothing new
but now i'm done
and i'm through with you
i know what you say
it's not alright it ain't ok
look around you look confused
and everything will be alright
if that's alright with you, well?
i can be mean
and i can be rude
so when you think of it
i can be just like you
now just in case
you're a little confused
we are done
fuck you
i hate you more with every day
and I am so glad you finally moved the fuck away
everything you say's a lie
you're even lying when you tell me that this is really goodbye

3 o clock in the morning
and I'm clinging to yr knees
this is not like me
this is not like me
I beg you to stay over
I simper I act weak
I will be sorry
tomorrow morning
it's just that when I'm with you
I cannot keep my cool
it's like when you're around
I get stupid
6 o clock in the morning
I'm tired but I can't sleep
I walk suburban streets
I walk suburban streets
and sobering is like a judgment
and everything feels mean
the light of morning
shines sternly on me
I think the way that you smile
just reminds me of better times
and the way that you laugh
like mother's angel
and it's the way that you drive
(like you're fucking out of yr mind)
and the heat of your skin
makes me crazy
you tie me up
get my circuits crossed
I just get so damn lost
you tie me up in knots
9 o clock in the morning
I finally get to sleep
so tired I cannot dream
so tired I cannot dream
the only thing I can hope for
is next time I see you
I won't be stupid
I'll show you that
I'm not the girl I was that night
I somehow lost my pride
and threw myself at your feet
in desperation
y'know when you hit me like that
I think I started to go mad
my brain fell out of my head
cos I like you like that
you tie me up
get my circuits crossed
I just get so damn lost
you tie me up in knots
I think this time I might've blown it
my game is weak and now you know it

if it's a toy you want,
well you got me wound up pretty good
but if you set me down
I'll just teeter totter back to you
if it's a game you'd like
well I'd play anything you ask me to
I don't just let you win
it's not like I could have beaten you
you got yr hooks in my mind
I don't know why
I still smile when I think of you
I get this pain in my chest
you know I can't rest when
you're not around
ooh
if it's a laugh you want
well just ask me and I will make good
cos I'm a fool for you
and although you deny it we both know it's true
If it's a song you want
I got hundreds of them about you
you keep me up all night
you know I don't breathe don't sleep when you're not beside me
you got yr hooks in my mind
I don't know why
I still smile when I think of you
I get this pain in my chest
you know I can't rest when
you're not around
ooh
It wasn't meant to be
a case of bad timing
if you really wanted me
you would've tried for me
I can't get you out of my mind
and god knows I try,
but it's not over yet between us honey
you are my greek tragedy
you should be with me,
you know I can't breathe when I'm without you
ooh, you know that I can't breathe
you keep me up all night

So. I show up with these stars in my eyes. Floating in on cloud 9.
Satellites up the sky.
While you have been here since the dawn of space-time. You're so sure of your size.
You emit so much light.
But I'm not another girl that you can
Pull into your world.
I got my own planet and it is
not orbiting yours!
Though gravity weighs down on me
I'll still take my own course
Not another girl
Whoa. Outer space can be cold. All the dust and black holes that I tend to spiral through.
Oh, when I look at your glow. Ya know that I know that our particles could collide.
But I'm not another girl that you can
Pull into your world.
I got my own planet and it is
not orbiting yours!
Though gravity weighs down on me
I'll still take my own course
Not another girl
Roaming round with this rogue planet
Traveling at the speed of light
Will you catch up to my view?
Or are you a galaxy
so big and yet so empty
that I can never get to you?
But I'm not another girl that you can
Pull into your world.
I got my own planet and it is
not orbiting yours!
Though gravity weighs down on me
I'll still take my own course
Not another girl
