Then the other girl
Was sitting on the sidewalk in the rain
She had a suitcase
And a shoelace on her finger
And she sang
la da de la da daaa
I can't remember to
Forget the face of you
Cause your words ring
And the sign says
All I am is ugly in the pane
Any other girl
Would sit along the sidewalk and complain
With a rude face
Made of white lace
Always wondering who to blame
You always understand
A bit too late
A line too straight
For certainty
For boys like me
You just cant seem to balance out the scales
But I know
I'm always improving
But still it's satisfactory
And I know you're almost perfect
But still
Do you make faces in the mirror
Smiling some and watching your hair grow
I'm always waiting
Anticipating
Life on the ice
And I know
I'm always improving but still
It's satisfactory
And I know you're almost perfect
But still
If you were alive and I was a prayer
Well then maybe I'd have faith
But you're not alive
And I said my prayers so sleep
I don't want my name in lights
I just want to sleep tonight
I never asked for this name
I never asked for this life
I scream
Cause you let me
And I lie cause
I'm bored of the truth
I'd like to tell you about love
About life
And I scream
I've screamed since you left me
And I've lied
Cause I'm scared of the truth
I'd like to tell you
About love
About life
And I scream
