not so clever

so you've got yourself into a mess and you're too proud to get yourself out of it

can you really call it your best, you gave it 80%, any less and your worthless

where did you go? I stopped listening.

Don't hold my heart over my head only to let it fall

if time is meant to erase it all, it won't be enough

so give me your best shot - i'll be the first to shoot you down

give it your best shot - i'll be the last to hit the ground

hiding places, crooked faces 

if this is a game, you're running the wrong race

if you speak it, i won't believe it

i'm not another mouse in your silly maze

where did you go? i'm not listening.

don't hold my heart over my head only to let it fall

if time is meant to erase it all, it won't be enough

so give it your best shot i'll be the first to shoot you down

give it your best shot i'll be the last to hit the ground

expression like glass

baby you were standing right in front of me

and as easy as it is for me to step up and say hello,

i can't find my feet so i stay alone

there you were standing right in front of me

but you were looking the other way

and i guess you couldn't hear me calling out your name

finally you turn, your eyes meet mine

my heart paces one beat at a time

but you weren't pleased

so i hang my head and sit tight

so paint the grass blue and call it the sky

because i'll be staring at the ground until the butterflies subside

so catch the wind and whisper sweet

and maybe then it will guide my feet gently back to where you are

thats the only place you're ever gonna find me

patience wears and tears - my eyes are glued

is this what i've bargained for? now i'm stuck on you

i watch you dance around words

yeah they're dancing you right out of my view

well i hope you find something to live for 

even if its not me

so paint the grass blue and call it the sky 

because i'll be staring at the ground until the butterflies subside

so catch the wind and whisper sweet

and maybe then it will guide my feet gently back to where you are

thats the only place i want you to find me 

its not like we've done anything wrong

but the silence was wasted for oh too long

and i can't keep waiting for you to find me

an expression like glass makes me breakable

expression like glass means i'm breakable
