Well, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl. Ah, but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed. But I heard you let that little friend of mine.
Almost blue. Almost doing things we used to do. There's a boy here and he's almost you. Almost all the things that your eyes once promised. I see in his too.
Narrow daylight entered my room. Shining hours were brief. Winter is over. Summer is near. Are we stronger than we believe?. . I walked through halls of reputation.
An invitation came my way. Knowing it's dangerous to follow. That girl in her Sunday suit. Would have forbidden it. But since those days. I've changed my address.
I looked down at a sparkling band. And only saw my Mother's hand. The things I've earned. They never came too cheap. . But then the likeness only goes so deep.
Almost blue. Almost doing things we used to do. There's a boy here and he's almost you. Almost all the things that your eyes once promised. I see in his too.
The girl in the other room. She knows by now. There's something ain't know other fears. Now she wears this thread bare. She sits on the floor. The glass press tight to the wall.
As I walk through. This wicked world. Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.. I ask myself. Is all hope lost?. Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?.
I cut myself and still hurt. Grey pain still reminds. There is no Kingdom, Power, Glory. For those who freeze their lives behind. . Following the wrong god I have been.
There are some things you can't cover up. With lipstick and powder. Thought I heard you mention my name. Can't you talk any louder?. . Don't come any closer.
Do you love him?. Or is it still too soon to know?. When I think back a couple of days. Before I found you in his spell. Was there a warning?. What can I say?.
I can't save you. I can't believe you, yea. . I am the ground where you will lie. I am the wind where you will fly. . We've lost in a place. Where time is holding a sick, sick pace.

I don't wanna kiss you. I don't wanna touch. I don't wanna see you. 'Cause I don't miss you that much. . I'm not a telephone junkie. I told you that we're now just good friends.
Want more real attention. At my expense guess you forgot to mention. You talk good, I'll eat glass. I heard you read my mind behind my back. . Outside, I'm waiting.

You're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset. He's going off about something that you said. 'Cause he doesn't get your humor like I do.. I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night..
