Love like needle full of methadone Potent but not real left you wanting more
Lipstick track-marks bleeding wet Like Montagues and Capulets For us, child, the stars refuse to shine Why for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine?
Somewhere strung out on the lam We wound up back here again Like unstable chemicals Combining only to explode
What would it take for you to notice I am heart on fire and all the world’s a fuse So don’t get close The trouble and the worth Am I better off on my own?
Contaminated quarantined then left alone Shipment refused, address unknown
Damaged goods they soon forget In choking dust where we got left For us all the stars refuse to shine
So tap the vein and light the match We burn like stars before the crash But for you there’s still a chance Just let go
What would it take for you to notice That I am heart on fire and all the world’s a fuse So don’t get close The trouble and the worth I’m better off on my own On my own
But now there’s nowhere to run And yeah there’s nowhere to hide There’s nothing under the sun We haven’t already tried
What would it take for you to notice That I am a hand grenade Pin already pulled So don’t let go As we chase the sun My shadow slows us down Without me along You’re better off and I know You’re better off and I know And I know
