Lyric

Glossy tones and fingertips that graze

You paint a dream with the sweet words you say

My heart is swaying in the pale moonlight

But I don't belong to you tonight

Do you even notice? Is it all just a show?

Is that kindness the same for everyone you know?

Every time you love me, I start to fade

My name and my memories, the price that I paid

Even in your arms, when you hold me tight

Someone else is shining in your eyes tonight

(In your eyes tonight...)

Drifting along, like a dance in a daze

I’m lost in the rhythm of your hollow embrace

I wanted to be the only one you’d see

But you’re just waiting to discard me

Is this my fate? Can I never break free?

I’m more than a pawn in your game of misery!

Every time you love me, I’m broken inside

The truth in my heart has nowhere to hide

I don’t want to cry, but my chest feels the pull

Why is my hunger still never quite full?

Wounds hidden deep in the velvet of night

You’ll never see them in the morning light

Behind the smile that I wear like a veil

What’s left of me when the colors go pale?

Every time you love me, I start to fade

My name and my memories, the price that I paid

Even in your arms, when you hold me tight

Someone else is shining in your eyes tonight

Starving for love, then crying for more

Still I can’t walk out through the open door

A shadow dancing in a pool of bright light

Who am I supposed to be tonight?
