Cue the violins

Tornoutheart


he merry-go-round 
appreciates your quarter 
but do you? 
give yourself away in an envelope 
to the world 
please turn off the sun when its not in use 
its endearing how i cant 
work you out at all 

so kiss these lips good-bye 
my ways, will make your eyes cry 
ill catch the elevator just in time 
for you to cue-the-violins 
and hey miss splender pretender 
i guess im leaving cos i know it wont work 
so cue the violins 

ill stick around, ill sleep on my friends floor 
and ill write you a letter from the porch 
to say... "i miss you, its over" 
"complications took over us" 
"youre gone, amazing" 
"the world thinks im crazy to let you go" 

so kiss these lips good-bye 
my ways, will make your eyes cry 
ill catch the elevator just in time 
for you to cue-the-violins 
and hey miss splender pretender 
i guess im leaving cos i know it wont work 
so cue the violins 

I hear youre doing just fine 
but i bet you've ripped up all 
the postcards, i sent to you 
you were truly my best friend 
But i guess that message 
never.. got.. through 

So kiss these lips good-bye 
my god, you have beautiful eyes 
cue the violins, cue the violins 
and hey miss splender-drama-queen 
i guess ive left you a memory 
cue the violins 
cue the violins
