And I still wonder

Was I wrong to burn your only photograph

I kept your charms but

Every time I looked at that

I couldn't help but want it all to fade to black

Knowing I could never take it back

The way the stars in the sky of our city streets

Couldn't penetrate their way to me

And that's all that was left of my personality

Every smile so fluorescent shining so artificially

Blocking me out keeping me hidden from the world

Do you think if they knew you they'd love me the way I love you

Or do you think they'd wish it had been me who never got to see the dawn

And if I paint my skin do you think it'll cover my sin

Or do you think it'll never be enough and I'll just play a game of constant cover up

You're weighing down chains I wear like a badge of duty

Like I'm tasked to carry you with me

You're anchored around my neck so why don't we take to sea

Why not just wait and see if you were everything worth living for for me

Or was I only worth dying for

Do you think if they knew you they'd love me the way I love you

Or do you think they'd wish it had been me who never got to see the dawn

And if I paint my skin do you think it'll cover my sin

Or do you think it'll never be enough and I'll just play a game of constant cover up

I'm falling to sleep

Like borrowing wings

Can I fly that close to the sun

I don't think this wax will last for long

But the crash is worth the glimpse of your reflection

Do you think if they knew you they'd love me the way I love you

Or do you think they'd wish it had been me who never got to see the dawn

And if I paint my skin do you think it'll cover my sin

Or do you think it'll never be enough and I'll just play a game of constant cover up

Do you think if they knew you they'd love me the way I love you

Or do you think they'd wish it had been me who never got to see the dawn

And if I paint my skin do you think it'll cover my sin

Or do you think it'll never be enough and I'll just play a game of constant cover up
