lyrics

I had to leave
because everyone looked like you
Should that not affect me?
I just had to go
when they all started quoting you
Should that not upset me?
In the door you stood, wrapped in your favorite dress
You love your own slinky frame, and the halo above your head
Am I to blame for this funeral setting?
Only in dreams do I have trouble forgetting

On a white bed
with lily white sheets
we reintroduced ourselves
You seemed fine
and didn't seem to mind
my fountains for eyes
When I woke up, I called you crying
You're one of my closest friends, I've accepted that with time
I hope you're not stained by the results of this bloodletting
Only in dreams to I have trouble forgetting

I pinned you down
seedy and unromantic
in my filthy bedroom
Little did I know
there were 3rd person photographs
an invisible camera man
The pictures lined the walls of the apartment that I live in
They decorate the halls, making me livid
I said, “I hate your finishing face, I told you I didn't like it”
Only in dreams, I somehow always manage to find it

Are my thoughts in the wrong place?
You can be honest
You don't ever have to lie to make me happy
No, you don't
I'll sulk anyway
and let these dreams seep into my days
I'll sulk anyway
and let these bad dreams seep into my days
I'll sulk anyway
