I can't afford to love someone
Who isn't dying by mistake in Silver Lake.
I can't afford to love someone
Who isn't dying by mistake in Silver Lake.
If teardrops could be bottled
There'd be swimming pools filled by my models
Told "that tight dress is what makes you a whore
If I love you was a promise
Would you break it if you're honest?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else?
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side.
Can't stop staring at those oceans eyes.
Burning cities and napalm skies -
Fifteen flares inside your ocean eyes those ocean eyes.
Don't be that way
Fall apart twice a day
I just wish you could feel what you say.
Show, never tell
But I know you too well
Kind of mood that you wish you could sell.
Fool me once, fool me twice.
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
Somebody new
Is gonna comfort you like you want me to.
Somebody new
Is gonna comfort me like you never do.
I should have known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed
Is just the blood you owe.
We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life, but life is far away from fair
Was I stupid to love you?
