Hopelissness is your cell
Since you've drawn out these lines
Are you protected from trying times?
Man, it takes a silly girl
To lie about the dreams she has
But lord, it takes a lonely one
To wish that she had never dreamt them at all
Oh look now, there you go with hope again
Oh you're so sure that I'll be leaving in the end
Dig your ditch deep enough
To keep you clear of the sun
You've been burned more than once
You don't think much of trust
Oh look now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secret's safe with me
Oh you're so sure that I'll be leaving in the end
You're treating me like I'm already gone
But I'm not, I will star where you are, always
But you don't look like you're back to me
With your focuses changing
Your gaze is transfixed on a point that I can't often see
You've got your new ties, I've got my old knots
You've got your inside line
But you're never happy with what you've got
Careful now, you're so beautiful
When you've convinced yourself
The no one else is quite as beautiful
I heard that you were living well
But you don't look like you're living to me
Though the sparkle is gone, your smile is in place
So that everyone watching will see
You've got them all convinced
But I know so well that you could list your friends
But you can't count on them
Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced
That you're alright when no one else is quite as vulnerable
As soon as you've got it you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
I's not the price that's gonna cost you
It's just the weight that's gonna bring you down
That makes me wish that I was smart enough for you
Hey girl, you've got a fine laugh
And I think that I could get used to that
And you're already used to laughing at me
Well, so what if your friends think I'm crazy
I wasn't trying to impress those girls nayway
They're all theory, no action
And where I come from we live like it's the latest attraction
Hey girl, you've got a short fuse
And I've got designs on lighting you up
And setting you off
And watching you burn for me
The world lives for the weekend
Well, I'll watch as my weeks bleed right into them
Without a line to divide what is their's
And what is mine
Go on, go on, your cruel intentions
Won't solve your problems
Everyone's gotta get bottom
Bottomed out in the long run
And those are the times you need love
