You're the colour in my hair

That just won't wash out

The fragrance that triggers

A memory of doubt

You're the song

That I hear

That just brings me down

You're the flavour that lingers

Like ashes in my mouth



If you

Build me up

Let me hope

Let me dream

I tear you down

Let you hurt

Let you need



Well I'm not really sure

But I think that I missed it

Don't ask me how

Cause I still don't quite get it

You could blame it on fate

Say I'm a victim of cupid

But I took 24 years

To get this stupid



If you

Place your faith

Give youself

Trust in me

And I use you up

Suck you dry

Let you bleed



Well I'll say that it ain't

But I know that it's through

If you try to blame me I can pin it on you

I"ll run from the truth

Or pretend I don't see it

And I'll say "I love you" and not really mean it



Well I'm not really sure

But I think that I missed it

Don't ask me how cause I still don't quite get it

But I'll push you for answers

Just to see if you'll break

So strike up you're band we'll waltz through it again

Ya, I'll fight the battle

If you fly the banner

I'll hold the nails girl if you swing the hammer

You could call me obsessed

But I still wish I could see ya

Sneakin into your backyard

With these flowers for Ophelia
