_________
Even when the night comes
And the sky goes dim
It feels like you're the only one
Who can hold me in my arms

But even so it seems
As if my paint bewilders your glance
Like my gold
Is your silver

I'm not enough of a doll
Or a Marilyn Monroe
To be with you tonight
Wondering if my heart
Ever seemed good enough
For you to put up a fight

Now your arms don't feel the same
The dark sky swallow me whole
It feels like you're hours away
In a different time zone

Yet even when you feel close
My structure pushes you away from me
Looking in the mirror
Feeling it all once again
