Porcelain

When you look into a mirror are you seeing what I see,
Or just a dull reflection of what we used to be?
We scarcely stood a chance, but did you know to what degree?
Polish up your mask, my love;
You're not fooling me.
Will you always hide behind the ignorance of youth?
Now we're alone and the porcelain cracks
When you're faced with the truth;
It's just you and me and the person you're pretending to be.
Darling you're the only lie I need, and all those reoccuring dreams
Where I'd work my hands until they'd bleed
All for you,
All came true.
When you looked into my eyes (and do your words come from a script?),
Were you feeling how I felt (before the paper starts to burn)?
Or is your smile just a courtesy (and was it goodbye from the start?)
Before the plastic starts to melt (was I just waiting my turn)?
It's just you and me and the person you're pretending to be.
Darling you're the only lie I need, and all those reoccuring dreams
Where I'd work my hands until they'd bleed
All for you,
All came true.
It's just you and me and the person I can never ever be.
Darling I'm the only pain you need. And all those reoccuring dreams.
I'd work my hands until they'd bleed.
All for you.
All came true.
It's just you and me and the person you're pretending to be.
Darling you're the only lie I need, and all those reoccuring dreams
Where I'd work my hands until they'd bleed
All for you,
All came true.
