You've got it good
You're cruel to everyone
You get their feelings
And you shake them 'til you're all alone
You had the time
You had the motive now
Pretend it hurts and they run to you from miles around
Dressed to kill
By the hands that never will
Looks appeal
To what the feelings don't reveal.
And I can't penetrate the lies
But the damage you do
Is written across your eyes
So don't say you love me
And I can't delegate the blame
But it all comes out sounding just the same.
So don't try to touch me.
You turn them on
You switch it off again
A stream of lovers hanging rotting at your door again.
You pull the strings
You've had them dance for you.
You build them up
'til they think they've got a bone to chew.
You steal to live
From the hands that never give
Look within
Through the doors that don't cave in.
And I can't penetrate the lies
But the damage you do
Is written across your eyes
So don't say you love me
And I can't delegate the blame
But it all comes out sounding just the same.
So don't try to touch me.
(The words you said just broke in two)
And I can't penetrate the lies
But the damage you do
Is written across your eyes
So don't say you love me
And I can't delegate the blame
But it all comes out sounding just the same.
So don't try to touch me.
(Is it somehow rewarding, or some kind of warning?)
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I hurt inside-out
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
I never wrote you a love song
somehow words could not express what I needed to say.
and so I never wrote you a love song
and now its much, much too late 'cause you've gone away
But I will build this monument
to remember all the love we once had
and I'll close my eyes and make it how it used to be
I swear I never stopped loving you with everything I am
and it hurts so much to think you stopped loving me
you stopped loving me...
So I wish I'd had written you a love song
and somehow you understood what it feels to be me
because the Angel loves the sprite forever
and does it unconditionally
But I will build this monument
to remember all the love we once had
and I'll close my eyes and make it how it used to be
I swear I never stopped loving you with everything I am
and it hurts so much to think you stopped loving me
you stopped loving me...
Born with all you need
And need is all you have
Left out in the dark alone
To see what you're made of
Nobody gives a hand
When you're in deepest pain
Crying both your eyes out
And swallow all your pride
I'm longing for the day
That you return to me again
And see me in the brightest light
That you have ever seen
With my heart open wide
To love you once again
Like I have done before
But you chose to ignore
I'll wait here for evermore
I'll wait here forever and ever more
I'll wait here until you return to me
I'll wait here for evermore
The path to me is winding
But you will always notice
Some presence of me around
When you want to see
There will be a time
That we will never part
For this is my biggest gift to you:
We were never two
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell my you love me
Say Im the only one
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Dont mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
Theres some truth in it
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell my you love me
Say Im the only one
Promises made for convenience
Arent necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
Thats lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That the end of the day
Some great reward
Weil be coming my way
What good is a photograph of you?
Every time I look at it
It makes me feel blue
What use is a souvenir of something
We once had
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad?
I wish I could tear it up
But then again I haven't the guts
I wish I could throw it on the fire
I wish I could
But to say I would
I'd be a liar
What good is a color print of a little baby doll
When just one little glance is enough to make me feel dull?
I wish I would misplace it
But then I take such good care of it
I wish it would disappear
I say I wish
But then I relish it being here
What good is a photograph of you
Every time I look at it
It makes me feel blue
You're time wasting again
Biting your nails like you were sixteen
Putting up your little walls
When emotion's around
Leave your little heart
In the lost and found
Your friends would die laughing
If they saw you this way
Even though they cry the same tears everyday
Where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost
But it doesn't do to tell
You're at your best
When you're living hell
Just put on your hard face
You know you do that so well
Thank god you wore
Your waterproof make-up today
And who gives a damn about him anyway?
To him you're a body
And to hell with the mind
But you get the same schtick from his type all the time
Just a couple of drinks
And they've got you tonight
And you know the sad thing
Is that they're often right
Where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost
They take hold of your heart
And they spit it right out
Make a show of their conquest
When their friends are about
Your ego deflated
You gave up the fight
And became the good-time-had-by-all-every-night
And where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost
No comfort of beds
Or the softness of sheets
Just the back of a car
Sprawled across the back seats
And he'll just not give up
And he's messed up your head
A dish in the disco
But a pig in the bed
So you build up a false love affair anyway
Photocopy soap opera stories all day
Where it all ends up fine
And it all ends in church
And the girl looks like you
And she never really gets hurt
And where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
Gave up the ghost
