lyrics

the conversation continues behind my back
would you have ever told me if i didn't ask
I know that it is nothing more than glancing back
when you told your friends your secrets did they just laugh

i'm sorry but i like to paint with pains that should've never survived
i'm sorry but i'm a jealous man under this plastic armor hide
it shines like it was the real thing but you see like me it lies
you thought it was me that could do better and yet it was only you that tried

jealousy can be friendly when you get to know
she keeps me company at when you don't come home
unwarranted and unwelcome but she stays the night
i've learned irrational sadness is the worst kind

i'm sorry but i like to drown when my lungs are perfectly dry
i'm sorry but i'm a coward weak under this plastic armor hide
it shines like it was the real thing but you see like me it lies
you thought it was me that could do better but you're the owner of my eyes
if I waste your beauty not looking God would surely make me blind
