lyrics

I am not your muse
though it's nice to lose
and it's comforting to look at the ground and be small like a mouse

I am not your girl
though it's nice to think
if we had another drink maybe I would be

I don't want to know
the stories well over
take the hint or another unlit cigarette

Sitting on the fence again (I feel stupid)
Clear your mind talk with your friends (words are stupid)
Boy I got more in my heart then I do in my brain though
Getting out of beds the same (drinking liquid)
a slow and painful get away
Oh boy it's a mistake that I make every morning (I don't need it)
everything we built I guess it's just dust
flames in my brain and pictures of us

I am not a toy
though it's nice to play
and it's comforting to waste the day

You are not my boy
though it's nice to lie
and run around the desert kicking sand in your eye

I don't want to know
the stories well over
take the hint or another unlit cigarette

Sitting on the fence again (I feel stupid)
Clear your mind talk with your friends (words are stupid)
Boy I got more in my heart then I do in my brain though
Getting out of beds the same (drinking liquid)
a slow and painful getaway
Oh boy it's a mistake that I make every morning (I don't need it)
everything we built I guess it's just dust
flames in my brain and pictures of us

I want you to know I'm not your muse but
It's nice to lose
It's fine to lose
