Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
[Verse 2]
I had a dream
The trouble always starts in someones head
And dreams are real
When you're asleep, you may as well be dead
I predicate the last 10 years, I'm figuring with me
After the war In some strange city, on a strangers
[Verse 3]
Sure you think I'd waste my life on this
To be a comfort when you needed me
Lazy, everlasting friendship
[Verse 4]
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
[Verse 5]
We had a time If we could have it back over again
I'd be a force not so polite and not so delicate
I'd trot around on velvet socks so I could not be felt
I was your fan, waiting for the day when this God will start to
[Verse 6]
Talk to me, don't venerate me now
(I'm not a calling, have to be adored)
See my heartbeats from my sweet skin
[Verse 7]
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
[Verse 8]
If I carry you in my heart
Will you ease the pain or make it hard?
I know you like to let me know you're there
(Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination)
If you're blank, let's go and disappear
(Poor boy, I was the crush)
If there's space in my life for you
Then I'll see you tomorrow
Or will I ride on?
[Verse 9]
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was the crush that killed
[Verse 10]
I could never live up
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, crush)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, crush)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, crush)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, crush)
