Things were hard,
What was I to do...

Tasting your lips in the kiss of another,
Searching for you in the arms of my lovers...

I didn't want perfection,
When I was looking at you...

Your eyes are looking hollow
Your body's beginning to rot...

Words hurt, like broken looks.
They tear me up inside...

We only speak in riddles,
Showing glimmers of the truth...

Tell me they understand you,
Just tell me that they try...

Face-down in my pillow,
I'm holding my breath...

I know I'm not too pretty,
Or even all that clever...

You just don't understand,
And I don't like to explain...

When I said I hate you,
Did it make you smile...

I'll hold on to this pain,
Till the end of the day...
