lyrics
In my eyes you see your reflection
With the rest of the world at your fingers
With a turn of your wrist you throw me off
Discover all of the beauty you’re made from
Porcelain glass on the mantle
Unspoiled worth
You don’t need it all
To lose it all
You’re never going to be what you are
In your mind, don’t try
You’re blinded by your own dirty thoughts
And cheap wine
You don’t have to be made up every night
You want it all
But the way of the world should let you know
You’re way over your head
Further you fall, you want it all
But the world is too small
I know all the ways to say let it be
But I was hoping for a little common courtesy
And I know you still pretend you can’t see me
As if there’s always something better for your eyes to see
Well now I’m alone I don’t want to see you go
Bury seeds in someone else’s fertile soil
Whispering back and forth
You’re always asking for more
(Now I don’t know, which way we’re going to grow
Now I don’t know)
But you’re never going to be what you are
In your mind, you live life
Like everyday you’re one more day past your prime
Am I right? You don’t always have to be made up
You want it all
But the way of the world should let you know
You’re way over your head
Further you fall, you want it all
but the world is too small
You don’t need it all
To lose it all
No matter how you try to say it
It’s still the reason why I wouldn’t come back baby
And now as you go on and say it
I don’t want be the reason why that you lost it all
Whisper back and forth
Tangle up your words
Tell them what you tell yourself
Whispering back and forth takes too long to get your point across
With the rest of the world at your fingers
With a turn of your wrist you throw me off
Discover all of the beauty you’re made from
Porcelain glass on the mantle
Unspoiled worth
You don’t need it all
To lose it all
You’re never going to be what you are
In your mind, don’t try
You’re blinded by your own dirty thoughts
And cheap wine
You don’t have to be made up every night
You want it all
But the way of the world should let you know
You’re way over your head
Further you fall, you want it all
But the world is too small
I know all the ways to say let it be
But I was hoping for a little common courtesy
And I know you still pretend you can’t see me
As if there’s always something better for your eyes to see
Well now I’m alone I don’t want to see you go
Bury seeds in someone else’s fertile soil
Whispering back and forth
You’re always asking for more
(Now I don’t know, which way we’re going to grow
Now I don’t know)
But you’re never going to be what you are
In your mind, you live life
Like everyday you’re one more day past your prime
Am I right? You don’t always have to be made up
You want it all
But the way of the world should let you know
You’re way over your head
Further you fall, you want it all
but the world is too small
You don’t need it all
To lose it all
No matter how you try to say it
It’s still the reason why I wouldn’t come back baby
And now as you go on and say it
I don’t want be the reason why that you lost it all
Whisper back and forth
Tangle up your words
Tell them what you tell yourself
Whispering back and forth takes too long to get your point across
