You Am I

The Sweet Life

You Am I


Yeah you're beautiful but you're fucked 
Were you damned as such?
Vain lads clamour just for the hem of your drawers
Its no fake breeze  
That I spend my days 
Just pottering what I became the jewel in your cause 
Through the smoke and the noise 
What extraordinary poise 
Oh, you're sharp ain't ya 

If you say you love someone insane 
Why would you want them to change 
From the sweet high life 
And those long sad goodbyes 
Did we have to pay such a price - damn 

Oh yeah you're spirited but obsessed 
Folks got burned for less 
Loose change jangle on the bones in my chest 
I ain't the best, just a try-hard wreck 
What a princess we created - damn 
Through the blood and bone 
Now I sit alone with delicious wine at home 
I'd leave my turmoil discrete 
If the noise didn't sound so sweet 

For the sweet high life 
And the long sad goodbyes 
Did we have to pay such a price 
For the sweet high life 
And those long sad goodbyes 
Do I have to pay such a price 

For the sweet high life 
And those long sad goodbyes 
Did we have to pay such a price 
For the sweet high life 
And those long sad goodbyes 
Do I have to pay such a price 
For the sweet high life 
And those long sad goodbyes 
Did we have to pay such a price 
Damn
