Once again I was left in the dust
Destructive ones like me fold when there is nothing to bust
I couldn't see
Past the bright facade
- Layers of rust
It's not like I'm saying goodbye
Hey, why are you smiling still, cool guy?
♪
"This world is a cruel place for people like you,
I'll keep you safe"
Said the prison guard, digging his grave
And so I craved
Every single meeting with you the same to say
"How are you? How was your day?"
So
"Um... listen, it's gonna sound weird, but..."
"What is it? You're hitting on me?"
"NO!"
"It's just that... Those parties you love..."
"Yeah?"
"I want you to take me to one"
"Huh?!"
So a boyish constitution
Gets to lead a revolution
Everything about you screams "a bad idea"
Yet the walls around my sheltered heart
Begin to break and fall apart
Your smile is brighter than the most relentless sun
♪
"This world is a cruel place for people like you"
"I told you so"
I won't give him that, damage control
Won't help me then
Ah, I wish I felt nothing at all
But I'll take that blow, take that blow
I'll take more!
"So dear, are you having fun?"
"Ah, sorry for spiking your guns"
"You mind if I join you now?"
"Oh it's okay, I'm calm--"
"You know I really hate this town"
So
When a boyish constitution
Gets to lead a revolution
Everything about it screams "a bad idea"
I won't ever bear my foolish heart
I'll paint my face with blood and dirt
The chain has broken, I've no right to feel this hurt
♪
Once again I was left in the dust
Destructive ones like me fold when there is nothing to bust
I couldn't see
Past the bright facade - layers of rust
It's not like I'm saying goodbye
But just in case, I wanna tell you I --
"There's a stupid thing I used to say"
"Pathetic ones like me lose before we join the game"
"That's really lame!"
"So tomorrow I'll see you again"
"Then don't you dare flake on me,
I won't let you get away with ditching this time!"
Don't leave me behind again, cool guy
