i heard that you were home again
but you dont look like you're back to me
with your focuses changing
your gaze is transfixed on a point that i cant often see
you've got your new ties
i've got my old knots
you've got your inside lines
but you're never happy with what you've got
careful now you're so beautiful
when you've convinced yourself
that no one else is quite as
beautiful
i heard that you were living well but
you dont look like youre living to me
though the sparkle is gone,
the smile is in place so that everyone watching can see.
youve got them all convinced
but i know so well
that you could list your friends
but you can't count on them.
hold it now
you've got everyone convinced that youre alright
when no one else is quite as
vulnerable
careful now
youre so beautiful when you've convinced yourself
that no one else is quite as
beautiful
as soon as you got it
you want something else
its not the sale that you love--its the sell
its not the price thats gonna cost you
its just the weight thats gonna bring you down
i should be singing this song to myself cause its pretty much my life
i really need to just suck it up
i mean everything
nothing really has gone right so far
