Didn't See The Lights

It wasn't love but I knew it would never last. Seems like I'm some kind of one stop shop for the mentally balanced. A nuanced performance that an actor like me can know so well. I don't win any Oscars for it. I don't know why. I should relocate to Cannes or Venice. But I'll know it'll never work out. The further I drift, the further I fall.

But you seemed eager in the first place that I don't know why it's gone the way it has. Traded like a piece of meat on the market. Slaughter the cows until the bull comes home. Safer in the knowledge that I'm being direct and this is just my entertainment. I would've prolonged it but I don't call the shots round here. No I don't call the shots round here. I didn't fall but I enjoyed what was there.

I know it's never easy but I don't seem to have much luck. But to be honest I don't think I give a fuck. It wasn't mine for the taking and I didn't really bring it all in. There was no advantage to be played. Don't forget there was no advantage to be played.

You didn't see the lights you saw a dustman on your way. You didn't see the lights, it just wasn't meant to be. You didn't see the lights, you saw them in someone else. You didn't see the lights, you saw what you wanted to see. There's nothing more I can give, all hopeless conquests end up unhappy and so do those who fill themselves with hope.

And it all falls down like imaginary towers. I could count the hours and see the stars but there's just no way I will be able to lick the scars that appear on your skin. It's not enough just to take what was there into nothing. You must've been holding on for a kiss for too long. And I'm not man enough to suit your needs.
