My eyes are transfixed on yours.
I can’t believe how well you stare.
You’ve got a secret you won’t dare tell,
well, Hell if I care.
If you would keep your strength up,
maybe you’ll reach some truth
behind the words they say:
you’re just a girl in yellow shoes.
But you won’t tell me what you know.
I know, because I didn’t want your sympathy
to remind me what life is for.
Maybe if I made you breakfast,
we could sit and figure this out.
Out of your mind, I know, and you can’t help it.
You’re on a mission, “killing spree”
and it works for me,
but you’re running out of battery
and falling down.
Now that you told me what you know.
I know, because I didn’t want your sympathy
to remind me what life is for.
Peel back your shoes and watch you glow.
(Can’t have these bullets falling)
Can’t miss an easy target.
(Don’t tell me what you know)
No matter where this goes.
(I didn’t want your sympathy)
I’m crawling back to my bed tonight,
but I might be gone tomorrow.
“The vending machine says hi”
I didn’t want your sympathy.
It’s meaningless.
