I let you
read my script
hold my paper heart
I told you
to be careful
right from the start
cause I knew
my soul
could be easily ripped
gave you trust
bit by bit
but it's the throne
of the fool
on which I sit
for our candle of love
was your best parlor trick
with wax white as lies
you burned me
down to the wick
why, oh why
did you look at me
with those eyes
long enough
to make it stick
you said I made hours
feel like minutes
guess the time
went by too quick
now...
