I walk out with a lie in my pocket {But I can't see it} This is just what he needs He doesn't get it {I may not ever} Sometimes the days can be so simple I want to scream {I want to scream] Sometimes the days can be so long {Can be so boring, so I try to dream} Those days are gone but I can't stop thinking about them I light a candle, but the future is too close Sometimes it makes me so weak, that my eyes get black underneath Sometimes it makes me so sick, I smile I walk in with a gift in my pocket {But you don't show me} Funny, I can never tell If you are watching [But I am listening] Sometimes the nights can be sleepless Can be so long {can be so bright} Tossing around in my sheets Stealing the blankets of the whole city I hate you so But I can't stop thinking about you I turn the light off Jesus and Mary Chain turned on And sometimes it lulls me to sleep "Darklands" and "Down on Me" sometimes I just stay awake all night all night

You can take that way and I'll take this way It won't be better but it won't be worse Now we can feel a different type of pain Now we can both do whatever we want You can look that way and I will look this way Passing on the streets as strangers, or ghosts This is so tiring, it's losing energy Empty inside, we're empty alone Doing what you're used to doing Doing what you think you think is right? Go ahead and take the hard way To the end, 'cause it's not your choice We are too similar, but we are too different It doesn't matter, whatever the case. Feelings are shut out Feelings are dying Inside your heart, but it's not your fault Write you a letter in the last days of Berlin You might not answer the way that I want I know that it is too much, too much to handle I'm always knocking, 'cause I can't get enough Well I hope you're feeling better We wake up to the darkest feelings Frozen pictures with your faces Last goodbyes all given out Doing what you're used to doing Doing what you think you think is right Go ahead and take the long way To the end, 'cause it's not your choice

Metropolitan girls They wear red lipstick They get in cars They ride they subways You break their hearts Are not your friends They hang with rebels Can handle drugs Are casting spells She told you Don't ever say you love me You'll mean it then, but you can never trust your own feelings She's wearing leather to go out dancing with her friends tonight She's so responsible She never calls in sick Metropolitan girls Can hide it well It's teenage pressure They have great taste They're never yours Smoke cigarettes They wear high heels Don't take your shit No revolution She told you Don't ever say you love me You'll mean it then But you can never trust your own feelings She's wearing leather to go out dancing with her friends tonight She's so responsible She never calls in sick
