about

A relationship in three parts - beginning, middle, end, and nary an emotional backtrack to be found.

lyrics

Words shine like calligraphy well done
Stole a heart when I already had one
I shaped a star with a sentence all for you
T'was a lie but who cares what the truth is anyway?
I'm gonna say it just the same
Because I know that there's something here today

Like a dog that didn't have a home
My heart was left to wander on its own
And if I dream upon the chance
Will it steal from the romance
In what you say when you're looking at me that way?
Because you know I know nothing hasn't changed

Charismatic autocratic
I'm laughing out loud just thinking about it!
The lies that we tell ourselves become the truth

Learn the tricks of a trade that has no name
I pass it on like my father done the same
Sorry sad sympathetic and a smile
Well keep it up you know that it's worth a while if it gets your way,
Please stop looking at me that way!
Because you know I know nothing's left today

Autocratic symptomatic
For crying out loud just think about it!
The lies that we tell ourselves become the truth
