lyrics

I’M LIKE A GATEWAY DRUG (THE PRETTIEST BOYS IN TOWN)

I woke up broken down, tears half past end, now I’m lonely
This white room houses no one except a ghost of nothing
Your breath and lipstick fade like wishes from a washed up genie
MY BRIGHT HEART lingers with the thoughts of a past that passed without me

In the back of my room (it was more like a tomb)
I wasn’t waiting for you, I wasn’t waiting for you
In the back of my mind I never took it to heart
We never went that far, I was dead from the start

This kid had no queen; she split at the seams
I never meant what I said, I never said what I mean
Your words and your eyes never made me cry
That statement’s more than a lie

Oh baby, baby, you cease to amaze me
Oh baby, baby, driving me crazy

Hey Danny boy, can I tell you a secret?
Something so small, something you might regret

Did yah, did yah?
I thought you kissed her but I must be lying
‘Cause I wouldn’t risk it
