Just like cellophane, you try to cling so tight to me,
but your attempt´s in vain. You´ve less sincerity than the plastic.
Paper in the rain. The print appears so bright to me.
The words remain. I hold it to the light, I see right through.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don´t know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don´t own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
Just when I´m inspired, you drain the drive right outta me,
and even when I´m tired you push me to perform for your amusement.
Just like raging fire, you burn what´s left inside of me and to fulfill your desire,
I´d give you light till I burned out.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don´t know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don´t own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
No!
Just when you start to smile, I look into your eyes
and see your veiled denial to express any real emotion.
Just wait around a while, you´ll lose what you once had for me.
I´ll be out of style, I´ll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don´t know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don´t own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
