Hey, I like the looks of you. You've got a broken heart Well I've got one too. Give me half of yours I'll give you half of mine Half of yours for half of mine Half lunatic, half saturnine Hey, are you doing okay? You look like you haven't slept in 20 days The moon looks like it's covered in dust bits of broken heart and bits of broken trust Kiss me softly, don't pull away Softly, don't push away Kiss me softly, don't pull away Softly, don't push away Hey, I guess thems the breaks This is exactly how I made my past mistakes It's like the moon's wax and the moon's wane I ebb and flow and come back again Like the moon's wax and the moon's wane Kiss me softly, don't pull away Softly, don't push away Kiss me softly, don't pull away Softly, don't push away

Listening to The Smiths alone in the dark Reading paperbacks alone in the park Going out for lunch and eating alone Laying in the bath ignoring the phone Wishing I could just be left alone I can't help feeling cheated Just when I thought I'd been completed Every time we kiss I'm more depleted Depleted, depleted I do my laundry on Saturdays Sometimes I take in a matinee I've a diary I keep under my bed Where I write the things I should have said Maybe one day they will get read I can't help feeling cheated Just when I thought I'd been completed Every time we kiss I'm more depleted Depleted, depleted

When I sleep, I'm covered by you No one darkens my night the way you do When I dream, I'm dreaming of you No one sweetens my dreams the way you do But love is only wishes Pulling petals off a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour Love is only weakness Fragile as a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour When I breathe, I'm breathing you in No one else gets under my skin When I sweat, I'm sweating for you No one drowns me quite the way you do But love is only wishes Pulling petals off a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour Love is only weakness Fragile as a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour Love is only weakness Fragile as a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour The first bud to blossom Is the first bloom to wither The dreams that smell the sweetest Have a way of turning bitter Love is only wishes Pulling petals off a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour Love is only weakness Fragile as a flower The dreams that taste the sweetest Have a way of turning sour

When something is precious and perfect and pure It's also as fragile as crystal Drop it once and it's never whole again Drop it once and it's never whole again The sky and the stars and the moon seem small Inside I've got a hurt bigger than them all The forest and the beach and the sea seem small Inside I've got regrets deeper than them all When something is as delicate and intricate as lace It's also as vulnerable and frail Tear it once and it's never whole again Tear it once and it's never whole again The sky and the stars and the moon seem small Inside I've got a hurt bigger than them all The forest and the beach and the sea seem small Inside I've got regrets deeper than them all Deeper than them all...

Why should we trip on words? We're not cats, we're not birds Why should we trip on words, tonight? Why should trip on tongues? We're not mute, we're not dumb Why should trip on tongues, tonight? Falling faster, falling further, falling deeper every day Falling harder, falling softer, falling more in every way We haven't done anything wrong But fall in love tonight Why should we mince our words? The subtext remains unheard Why should we mince our words, tonight? Why should we be absurd? Our hearts shouldn't be demurred Why should we be absurd, tonight? Falling faster, falling further, falling deeper every day Falling harder, falling softer, falling more in every way We haven't done anything wrong But fall in love tonight A little touch ain't asking for much... Falling faster, falling further, falling deeper every day Falling harder, falling softer, falling more in every way We haven't done anything wrong But fall in love tonight

I picked up a brand new cancer I found them hiding on your Friendster I liked their hair, I suddenly felt We had to meet , they wore a white belt Honestly, do you find joy in this Drinking because people are poisonous When I go out the antidote Is wearing a tight denim coat Everyone who hates me will brag They know the boy with messenger bag Honestly, do you find joy in this Drinking because people are poisonous Need a girl with retro T And a tight, white belt... There’ll be 20 bright young chaps in ironic trucker caps Getting drunk and making passes At girls who wear plastic rimmed glasses Honestly, do you find joy in this Drinking because people are poisonous Need a girl with retro T And a tight-white belt... Fashion's more precious than soul It remains when passion grows cold...

Glass + plastic + chrome Latte with extra foam no regrets, french cigarettes Remind me of home Magazines on the racks All the pavement is cracked Black shirt, pink tie Jack boots and white lies Night falls, duty calls The moon is a disco ball Leather + rubber + steel Chauffeur’s asleep at the wheel Newspapers and skyscrapers But nothing is real Strike a deliberate pose Dust the coke from your nose Black light, white lies Brown shirts and red eyes Night falls, duty calls The moon is a disco ball

Trash 04:32
There’s a girl down the street The kinda girl you wanna meet Just down the street 20 feet Twisted metal and concrete Just down the street... Sweat drips, summer heat The vacant lot just down the street Just down the street 20 feet There’s a girl you wanna meet Just down the street... Car crash, bloody meat Twisted metal and concrete Just down the street Dirty rats Stray dogs In the trash Just down the street... Broken fence, hard cash 100 tears in the trash In the trash Down the street Stray dogs and rotten meat Get in the trash There’s a girl down the street The kinda girl you wanna meet Just down the street 20 feet Twisted metal and concrete Just down the street Sweat drips, sumemr heat The vacant lot just down the street Just down the street 20 feet There’s a girl you wanna meet Just down the street Get in the trash...

To betray Someone Someone who put their trust in you Someone Who really believes in you Is one of the worst things Any one of us can do But if you're going to do it Do it for some kind of profit Do for love Do it money Or at least do it for sex Because when I betrayed you I did it I did it for absolutely for nothing For absolutely for nothing For nothing at all

Hope. Give. Love. Live. Feel. Kiss. Touch. Bliss. Fight. Hurt. Sigh. Work. Kiss. Cry. Laugh. Try. Don't let go when you feel you are slipping When you feel you are slipping away
