Casualty

Give me my dream and give me a scene
Where you have a past of which you are clean.
Oh, give me a lie.
Tell me you fell ´cos of my grace and not to help you erase her face.
And oh, make it your best lie.
´Cos I´m holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands and if it does
Fall, if you do fall, it´s my fault
So I don´t wanna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you´re gonna give me is pain
And I´m not gonna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you see´s a human bandage
Tell me I´d find you´re happy inside and if I end this you´ll be fine,
Oh, tell me a lie.
Just look at me and say honestly that I´m all you want, not what you need.
And oh, make it your best lie, love,
´Cos I´m holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands
And if it does fall, if it does fall it´s my fault.
So I don´t wanna be with one more casualty,
´Cos all you´re givin´ me is pain
And I´m not gonna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you see´s a human bandage
And I´ve been playing games
And now I´ve change my ways
The character I always played
Helped me to forget my name
But now I know,
So get out of my way!
´Cos I´m not gonna be one more casualty
It´s been too long since I looked after me...
I´m not gonna be with one more casualty,
´Cos all you´re givin´ me is pain
And I´m not gonna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you see´s a human bandage
I´m not gonna be with one more casualty,
´Cos all you´re givin´ me is pain
And I´m not gonna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you seem to give me is your pain
I´m not gonna be, no...
Where you have a past of which you are clean.
Oh, give me a lie.
Tell me you fell ´cos of my grace and not to help you erase her face.
And oh, make it your best lie.
´Cos I´m holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands and if it does
Fall, if you do fall, it´s my fault
So I don´t wanna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you´re gonna give me is pain
And I´m not gonna be with one more casualty
´Cos all you see´s a human bandage
Tell me I´d find you´re happy inside and if I end this you´ll be fine,
Oh, tell me a lie.
Just look at me and say honestly that I´m all you want, not what you need.
And oh, make it your best lie, love,
´Cos I´m holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands
And if it does fall, if it does fall it´s my fault.
So I don´t wanna be with one more casualty,
´Cos all you´re givin´ me is pain
And I´m not gonna be with one more casualty
