Two perfect silhouettes
Faded nights as years go by
Make feeling happening
But we're too numb to even try
She whispers in his ear "I love it"
So hard when he saw who puts then he smiled
Turn away and think of better days
When things were easy
Innocence and honesty
Like the school-girl in my dreams
Perfect picture of everything you used to be
How do we play these parts
While staying true at heart
When the story is all wrong
It's just a game we play
The scripted words you say
Mean nothing to me
Fake smiles and kisses like goldfish
We can drag it out with convulses
Or at least until something better
Comes around and carries us away
If I could live without words
You'd never hear from me again
So long my friend
Here are the roses that I gave you
Except they wont live forever
And they dried up and you threw them out
What did you expect
You left them there to wither
Taking each day for granted that they'd be there
How do we play these parts
While staying true at heart
When the story is all wrong
It's just a game we play
The scripted words you say
Mean nothing to me
I feel it getting closer
It's slipping away
Now the end is here
There's nothing left to say
I feel it getting closer
It's slipping away
Now the end is here
There's nothing left to say
