I show no interest; I’m likely to destroy.
I liked you better when I thought I was your boy.
I’m getting kind of tired of “hey, let’s run away,”
but whatever comes tomorrow’s better than today.
I’ll never know.
You’ll never say.
I find it makes our lives a bit easier that way.
Let’s flee the underground. It’s cool to be uncool.
I liked it better when we didn’t have these rules.
Don’t waste you’re life with poetry—
we don’t know anything.
It’s all a bunch of lies.
We’re rosy and out of touch,
but with a bit of luck
we can find out why.
I don’t wanna know.
You'll never say.
I find it makes our lies more interesting that way.
I show no interest—I’m likely to destroy.
And I liked you even more when you said, “You’re not my boy.
And it takes a man to admit when he’s not a man.”
I know I’m lying when I say, “I’ll do what I can.”
You never come,
but I always stay.
And I find that I can’t stand half the things you say.
And you’ll never know
‘cuz I’ll never say.
I find it makes our lives a bit easier that way.
