Is it the truth that I just don't care?
If not, then at least I've learned
To let sleeping dogs lie where they fall
At least I know what I'll see and I don't indulge
I keep the wolves locked up and my chainsaw off
Of course he knew me after my worst,
Just his luck to escape the curse
Of broken windows
In the middle of the night
Waking up to a red torch light
You know I've got a tongue like a knife,
Tell me dear,
Is that your life or red wine?
Oh, the things I'd love to do to those arrogant eyes
But no, I've learned
You didn't mean much,
And it's not my turn

Under the covers,
You told me to come outside
See the sun, and his moon lover
Well I've always been a flame,
But now I'm unlike any other
As you light me up and say my name
Candles or the stove,
The soft saltwater glow
They're radiant all the same
You said come outside,
See the stars
Your eyes big as space

To say that I'm fine
Is so wrong that it's right
But I'll give you hot days,
Unforgettable nights
Smashing glass in the alley,
Tearing cords and ties
Your glowing green heartbeat rhythm
Up and down, jagged sides

To say you'll pick up
Is a fifty-fifty shot
But that means that you are,
Just as much as you're not
They tell me I'm pretty,
If only that was enough
Seems even kids get sick of candy
If they eat too much

I could write a million lines,
The grinding doesn't lie
Against my head,
Against my thighs
You were a humid dream
And so suddenly,
I'm up in a cold sweat  
Saying goodbye

Step so light down the rainbow bridge,
With the Angel wings you've always had  
You kept me warm beside the bed,
The softest thing I'll never touch again
Now my love, the clouds will be
The sweetest things you've ever seen
Like all the birds, and all the trees
That you gazed upon so peacefully
Pretty baby, eyes that shine
Your heart still beats inside of mine

The only thing I'm scared of
Is never being scared again
The only thing I'd never do
Is be a bad best friend
I can cover up what I've done,
Lie about where I've been
But you'll never forget the look I shot
Or the things I said I never would
And in the end I did
