me giving up on you

it's a hard thing to do

but i have no choice



i don't know what to say to you

i don't know why you think i do

all i know is i feel this deeper than you



you belong where you belong

i belong where everything goes wrong

at least, everything i do



so turn the lights off on the girl with the broken face

her pencil heart has been erased

she's standing on a lonely stage

and if you're nice you can throw a secondhand smile her way

just please don't lie to her

she's had enough today



cause it's easy to remember when her hands are in your hair

that she always plays favorites and she never plays fair

and it's easy to forget when she is laughing ooh

cause she never laughs at anyone they way she laughs at you



three cheers for the lonely girl

she eats her cake alone

eightteen candles

and her dreams, six feet under ground



girlfriend used to give a shit

but now she's just so scared of it

and that's it, nothing profound



so turn the lights off on the girl with the broken face

her pencil heart has been erased

she's standing on a lonely stage

and it you're nice you can throw a secondhand smile her way

just please don't look too long

she's gullable that way



so where does she stand?

at the front lnes with a rock in her hand

on the blacktop with her build like a man's

in the drama with your blood on her hands



cause it's easy to believe that all her planaties are real

when you're eating up her looks like they were your last meal

and it's easy convince you that my feelings are pretend

so eat cake if you like and get frosted again

eat cake if you like and get frosted again

eat cake if you like and get frosted again



and turn the lights off on the girl with the broken face

her pencil heart has been erased

she's standing on a lonely stage

and if you're nice you can throw a secondhand smile her way

just please don't lie to her

she's had enough today
