colour fades away, slowly swirling down the drain
you're bitter and you're tired of waiting
someone's banging down the door
but you've heard it all before
nothing they could say would change things

the chemicals of love you can smell it in the air
blissfully derranged and screaming.....

don't come crawling to me
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
im living in a world of make believe
and im not coming home

alcoholic fumes carpet stains and empty rooms
talking to your own reflection
and someone you don't know
says it's time for you to go
they say it's for your own protection

the residue of love you can taste it everywhere
hoplessly estranged and pleading......

don't come crawling to me
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
i'm living in a world of make believe
and im not coming home
i'm not coming home
i'm not coming home
i'm not coming home

color fades away slowly swirling down the drain
you're bitter and you're tired of waiting
someones banging down the door
but youve heard it all before
never go away

chemicals of love you can smell it in the air
blissfully derranged and screaming........

don't come crawling to me
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
i'm living in a world of make believe
i'm all that i wanna be
i'm living in a world of make believe
and i'm not coming home
so just leave me alone.
