If the time was right I would take you home
It would be so nice, we could be alone
But we're not alone
You and I have our demons we can't control
But we try with our vices tonight

In a perfect world I'd be a better girl
I would mind my words and have hair that curls
But it's not that world
And it's becoming clearer with every look
Every glance in the mirror
You're pushing me further from you

So take back your precious time
It's taking over mine
And I'm too blind to recognize so many things
So take it back for me

If I only knew what I meant to you
Maybe I'd be true, would not question you
But that's hard to do
'Cause it's becoming clearer
That I'm abused by the things that I fear
I'm pushing you further from me

All that's left are silhouettes
And shadows on the wall
Stale ashes fill the glasses on the wooden floor
Reminds me of a time when we would smoke indoors
Sleeping just enough to understand
What burns, understand what pain is
I understand what pain is
