Just like cellophane,
|
You try to cling so tight to me,
|
Your attempt's in vain.
|
You've less sincerity than the plastic.
|
Paper in the rain.
|
The print appears so bright to me.
|
The words remain.
|
I hold it to the light,
|
I see right through.
|
So eager to say,
|
"Hello", but you don't know me.
|
You just know what you see.
|
Pay the price to see the show, but you don't own me.
|
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
|
Just when I'm inspired,
|
You drain the drive right outta me,
|
And even when I'm tired you push me to perform for your amusement.
|
Just like raging fire,
|
You burn what's left inside of me and to fulfill your desire,
|
I'd give you light till I burned out.
|
So eager to say,
|
"Hello", but you don't know me.
|
You just know what you see.
|
Pay the price to see the show, but you don't own me.
|
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
|
No!
|
Just when you start to smile,
|
I look into your eyes and see
|
Your veiled denial to express any real emotion.
|
Just wait around a while,
|
You'll lose what you once had for me.
|
I'll be out of style,
|
I'll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned.
|
So eager to say,
|
"Hello", but you don't know me.
|
You just know what you see.
|
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me.
|
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
