Sorry sir, I stole your money,
Sorry sir, I feel, but it’s so, so twisted,
So unreal.
It was what I’d heard of
And what I didn’t have,
But I cannot give what I do not have,
And I cannot take what I do not have.
I can’t take it.
Don’t stultify.
Don’t hold me high.
Don’t stultify.
Don’t hold me high.
Too many things held precious,
Too many things held dear;
That’s what I hate,
That’s what I fear.
Too much to ask for
May leave me feeling lonely.
But too little leaves me nothing, nothing.
The drone in your voice, and the fly on the wall said,
"It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it is."
What do I wish for you, what do I wish?
It’s over, it’s over, it is.
Are we still solemn and bleeding?
Are we still swimming to water that was wet?
You can’t give away certain things that you get.
From the outside
To the inside I couldn’t tell you how it really was
There has to be more on one hand,
Keep your head above water on the other, the other.
The drone in your voice, and the fly on the wall said,
"It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it is "
What do I wish for you, what do I wish?
It’s over, it’s over, it is.
Are we still solemn and bleeding?
Are we still swimming to water that was already wet?
I can forgive, but I won’t forget.
I’ll wish for you, I’ll plead and I’ll steal.
Hold me precious, hold me dear.
I’ll wish for you,
I’ll sing and I’ll feel.
Don’t stultify, don’t hold me high.
Like a Gothic staple, a last good-bye,
One way to float is if you die.
And it’s over, it’s over, it’s over.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over
It’s over, it’s over.

This is the place where I sit
This is the part where
I love you too much
Is this as hard as it gets?
‘Cause I’m getting tired
Of pretending I’m tough

I’m here if you want me
I’m yours, you can hold me
I’m empty and taken and
Tumbling and breakin’

‘Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could

I dream of worlds
Where you’d understand
And I dream a
Million sleepless nights
I dream of fire when
You’re touching my hand
But it twists into smoke
When I turn on the light

I’m speechless and faded
It’s too complicated
Is this how the book ends,
Nothing but good friends?

‘Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would

This is the place in my heart
This is the place where
I’m falling apart
Isn’t this just where we met?
And is this the last chance
That I’ll ever get?

I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you

‘Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would

‘Cause you don’t see me
And you don’t need me
And you don’t love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
