Reverse This Curse [Glosa Verse]

Fall Out Boy Lyrics
---------------------
Stomp out this disaster town.
We're throwing stones at a glass moon.
We bullet the words at the mockingbirds.
Smash the mirror and break the palm reader's hand.
`````````````````````````
We were throwing words around like they didn't mean a thing -
Hurting each other and destroying everything.
How could we let ourselves down like that?
Rumors and lies replacing all truth and facts.
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
Pick up the broken pieces off the ground -
Only you can heal this tattered and bruised heart;
So take my hand and we'll try for a fresh start.
Let's search for the love that we once had around.
"...Stomp out this disaster town."

We can move on, you know we have that strength;
It might be hard, but we could do it, at a length.
So let's forget the past and look ahead -
Remember the good times, not the bad, instead.
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
I can feel that our time is coming soon...
So turn on the radio; we'll dance to our song;
It's been stuck in my head all along.
Let's watch as this old clock strikes noon.
"...We're throwing stones at a glass moon."

Who cares what they say? Have we listened before?
Because you and I know we've never wanted nothing more.
Some will talk and others just won't care;
No matter what, I'll always want you there -
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
Forget about what was said or misheard -
So come inside and shut that front door;
I just can't being without you anymore.
Let's stop muttering all these useless words.
"...We bullet the words at the mockingbirds."

You can be my Superman and I'm your Kryptonite -
Some say that we are wrong; let's not ever be right.
We could count the stars or just kiss the sky -
I could be your girl, you could be my guy.
So comeback Baby - Let's Reverse This Curse.
And maybe, for once, we can understand:
We're the only ones who could fix us now.
I don't know why and I don't know how.
I just want to be better that I am...
"...Smash the mirror and break the palm reader's hand."
