Just like cellophane, you try to cling so tight to me,
|
but 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?
