lyrics

Your name alone makes me tremble.
I try to stop but suddenly all my muscles have rhythms of their own.
I shiver and shake when I'm warm.
My fire does nothing. Maybe I haven't changed.
My fire does nothing. Maybe I haven't changed.

I gotta say right now my dying wish would be
to know what goes on inside your mind and your heart maybe.
It's not a dream. It's a nightmare reality.
And there you are reaching inside to twist out my heart.
Why don't you sever the veins, leave me to bleed, talk your way out, and charmingly leave?
Yeah I'm sure no one will notice I'm on the floor withering.

Yeah I miss the way things were.
But I don't miss shattered hearts and swollen tears.
Lying to me, denying those lies, but making up for it by making me smile.
Oh Cupid, what was wrong with you?
That's the last time I give you the bottle.
Cuz now you're drunk off possibilites and what-ifs and what could've beens.
Cuz now we're drunk off possibilites and what-ifs and what could've beens.

Problem is it's habitual and I don't wanna take that plunge.
Problem is it's habitual and I don't wanna take that plunge.
The person you befriend you become - You're a chameleon.

Problem is it's habitual and I don't wanna take that plunge.
Problem is it's habitual and I don't wanna take that plunge.
The person you befriend you become - You're a chameleon!
So I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay with not cliff diving again.

Tuesday night into Wednesday morning -
Talk is cheap, life's still boring.
The cup. The drink. Lost the ability to think.
You're hands, the floor - Why can't you give me just a little more?
The burning in my throat just to make me feel remote.
So I'll wander through my mind 'til I kill everything I find.
(You know I'm sick and tired of
crumbling to dust
when you come around. My tears have made me rust.
I'll never be the same - You shot and them took aim.
Yet, I'm the one to blame. I don't believe you!)

Oh, we could be here awhile.
So I'll start with your sweet smile...

Your name alone makes me tremble.
I try to stop but suddenly all my muscles have rhythms of their own.
I shiver and shake when I'm warm.
My fire does nothing. Maybe I haven't changed.
