Where Dreams Go to Die Lyrics

Your beauty is unstoppable, your confidence unspeakable
I know you know I know you know, that I know that you know
I'm willing to do anything to get attention from you, dear
Even though I don't have anything that I could bargain with

This is like a well-oiled machine
Could I please see that smile again?
It's all that makes me feel like I am living in this world
I see you closing all the doors
I see the walls as they go up
I know it's what you have to do
I'd probably do the same thing, too, my dear

Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye
Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I've got to get away
I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby

You have to play your part, my dear
I've written it all down for you
It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true
Just do it then I'll let you go
Just say the words and say them slowly
I promise I'll tell no one
Yes, I cross my heart and hope to die

Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye
Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I've got to get away
I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby

Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye
Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I've got to get away
I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby

Grant says in an interview on YouTube that the guy he is talking about in this song is the same guy he sings about in TC and Honeybear. It is sad because all his love affairs seem to end up badly.

forgot to mention, they both know that they love each other but they never managed to express it

Cover art for Where Dreams Go to Die lyrics by John Grant

It touches my heart, I feel they both love each other so deeply, but for no undenstandeble reason they chose not to be together, though probably their love is irrepetible, this one person makes everything possible to push the other away (he/ she really doesnt want to do that) and although this other person neither wants to walk away he/she does it

So sad that the mind is capable of doing that :(
