I've lost my voice, I've said all I have to say.
You're thick as porcelain, as clear as cellophane.
I miss the nervous shakes, I miss the way it hurt,
The way it killed to think that I had you first.
So then I force a smile, and take the stage
and now my knees are weak, I try to concentrate.
I'm losing air with every single breath that I take.
I look into your eyes and see the chemicals,
They're the whitest white, you've become a ghost.
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?
The phone is like a knife I drive into my ear,
I had a love affair with distance and fear.
The bus is like a hearse driving me from her,
She's the blackest white, she's the perfect curse.
She's the perfect curse.
So then I force a smile, and take the stage
and now my knees are weak, I try to concentrate.
I'm losing air with every single breath that I take.
I look into your eyes and see the chemicals,
They're the whitest white, you've become a ghost.
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?
And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie,
you could come down on me.
And if you save my life, how could I survive?
When you're the one who made me this way...
So then I force a smile, and take the stage
and now my knees are weak, I try to concentrate.
I'm losing air with every single breath that I take.
I look into your eyes and see the chemicals,
They're the whitest white, you've become a ghost.
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?
