Love like a needle full of methadone
Potent, but not real, left you wanting more
Lipstick track marks bleeding wet
Like Montagues and Capulets
For us child, the stars refuse to shine
Oh why for us child the stars refuse to shine?

Somewhere strung-out on the land
We wound up back here again
Like unstable chemicals
Combining only to explode

What would it take for you to notice?
That I am a heart on fire
And all the world's the fuse, so don't get close
Trouble and the worth
Am I better off on my own?

Contaminated quarantine, then left alone
A shipment refused, address unkown
Damaged goods they soon forget
In choking dust where we got left
For us all the stars refuse to shine
So tap the vein and light the match
We burn like stars before the crash
But for you there's still a chance
Just let go

What would it take for you to notice?
That I am a heart on fire
And all the world's the fuse, so don't get close
Trouble and the worth
I am better off on my own
On my own

Now there's no way to run
And yeah there's nowhere to hide
There's nothing under the sun
We haven't already tried

What would it take for you to notice?
What I am a hand grenade
Pin already pulled so don't let go
As we chase the sun, my shadow slows us down
Without me along, you're better off
And I know, you're better off
And I know, and I know
