I should trade my heart in for a watch
'Cause all I do is watch the numbers slip away
My lips silently repeat the countdown
'Cause it's too hard to say
I always knew that you would leave
Do you k
I broke my promise
that I wouldn't write another song about you
I guess I lied, after twelve years I still love
you
On the phone you sound happy but a heart can cry
And you don't see the tears
I
Now your sleep is over
You can't remember
Why you spent the whole night proving
What you'll be losing
The dream is gone
Do you want another one
Time to join the chorus line
Sing into the safe design
The wind pulls me around
and everything it touches turns weak
An antique or an eyelash stuck to your cheek
The paper thin skin of a crowd chasing you
Down a long and dead-end trail
With a guilt
I don't need anyone's love
I couldn't afford it anyway
With my penny's worth of hope
It's not funny but it's a joke
And I got a good one for the collection agency
It's a wish
That I could wish
