|
Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
|
Play me a song to set me free
|
Nobody writes them like they used to
|
So it may as well be me
|
Here on my own now after hours
|
Here on my own now on a bus
|
Think of it this way
|
You could either be successful or be us
|
With our winning smiles, and us
|
With our catchy tunes, and us
|
Now we're photogenic
|
You know, we don't stand a chance
|
|
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
|
About a boy who's just like me
|
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
|
You're so naive!
|
They always reach a sorry ending
|
They always get it in the end.
|
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
|
With a winning smile, the boy
|
With naivety succeeds
|
At the final moment, I cried
|
I always cry at endings
|
|
Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
|
From where I'm sitting, rain
|
Falling against the lonely tenement
|
Has set my mind to wander
|
Into the windows of my lovers
|
They never know unless I write
|
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
|
Said the hero in the story
|
"It is mightier than swords
|
I could kill you sure
|
But I could only make you cry with these words"
|
get me away i'm dying
|
