I don't know what you're afraid of -- success I guess?
Living out your self-fulfilling prophecies is what you do best
It's not like I make these decisions beforehand -- ok maybe I do
"Destroy what you love before it can happen"
is all that makes sense to you
SO COLD, SO FAR TO SEE
YOU'RE FAR TOO FAR AWAY FROM ME
OUTSIDE THE WALLS CAME DOWN
I SEE THAT WAY IS GONE
And I never imagined that I could feel safe in my fear
knowing you're there with me
And I know you're just flattered
but flattery spreads like disease, making my head spinny
And it doesn't matter if you get it from her or from me
we both hold the key you need
So now that it matters it's a long way down
you gave it to me
she gave it to you
now i've got it bad and i'll pass it on
you know what you do, it comes back to you
i'll learn someday
I wish you knew what you were afraid of so you could see it through
Because I just made this decision beforehand
and I don't know what else to do
