Something in the middle of the side of the store

Got your attention you would ask for more

I was excited to be part of your world



To belong, to be lost

To be mostly the two of us

Something I was stealing for no reason at all

They hang me higher than a disco ball

But you talked them into letting me go

It's no Picasso, Michelangelo

Something bout the jewels you wear

Shiny shiny bangles on your wrists

And at the masquerade ball

You feel trapped in a vault, in an empty aquarium

If suddenly you're out of the woods

Then inside of an alley you're out of words

Well I thought it was radium at first



Just because of you

These things I have to go through

Is it so bad?

Is it so true?

Is it still you?

Just because of you

These things I have to go through

It's more than that we're chained

And there's no one else to blame

for us two



Some things they don't matter till they matter to you

They stole that money from a homeless girl

The truth is we're all to blame

There are lies and moral consequences

We started at the end of the line

To end up giving up to a couple, who care?

When you talked me into letting you go

No more coral on the atoll

Something about how hard you learned

Kamikaze in a hopeless world

Do you remember the last time you laughed

And I laughed and you left and I left?

Send me on the lonely other side of the world

With a couple of guys and no alphabet

Put two and two together, we'll make it last forever



Just because of you

These things I have to go through

Is it so bad?

Is it so true?

Is it still you?

Just because of you

These things I have to go through

It's more than that we're chained

And there's no one else to blame

for us two



Just because of you

These things I have to go through

Is it so bad?

Is it so true?

Is it still you?

Just because of you

These things I have to go through

It's more than that we're chained

And there's no one else to blame

for us two
