lyrics

i dove facefirst into glass for you yesterday
i'd crawl on bloody stumps to you just to say
you are more precious than jewels, but anyway
you're better than everyone else...


do i offer something in return you can't resist?
then why at times does this dreadful feeling persist?
i know you know me like i know all off your favorite things
but do you hear me when i try to explain what i see?


thoughts so loud- don't hear myself sometimes, like what the hell
the voice is mine, but it don't sound like me, as if a dream
loving language, is not foreign to me - all because
you're better than everyone else...

i'll make an effort if you do, babe
i won't believe it until
you prove that i'm the only one
when i can't believe in myself
won't you try?

i'd make time to spend it all with you, before it's gone
i'd try anything to make you smile, and that's for real
love is rare, in this jaded world, and for what?
you're better than everyone else...


do i offer something in return you can't resist?
then why at times does this dreadful feeling persist?
i know you know me like i know all off your favorite things
but do you hear me when i try to explain what i see?
