Aluminum [Acoustic Version] Lyrics
How, in every visible way, you shine
As if the stars in your wake align
Almost impossible to malign
But just below where you shine, you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discern
Aluminum to me
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
Illuminating just what you want to show
You'd never rust, but I'd never know
You can't be trusted, I can't let go
Aluminum to me
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
Every time you're here, I forget
When you leave, you leave only regret
Every time you're near, I forget
Everything
You're so lightweight, how can you survive?
Recycling moments from others' lives
You're not as precious as you contrive
Aluminum to me
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
Yeah, you're just aluminum
As if the stars in your wake align
Almost impossible to malign
But just below where you shine, you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discern
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
You'd never rust, but I'd never know
You can't be trusted, I can't let go
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
When you leave, you leave only regret
Every time you're near, I forget
Everything
Recycling moments from others' lives
You're not as precious as you contrive
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum
