How Did You Get This Way

you've got your mother's picture, it's hanging on the wall
your life is in your luggage, that you're stowing down the hall
your mirrors lying horizontal, tripping over emtpy bottles
while your friends are outside, they're waiting for your call

you can't afford this lesson, but you bought in anyway
now your vocal chords are missing, there's so much you want to say
your friends advice is quintesential, you think they're all just going mental
the insults were in jest, but you swallowed anyway


my love how did you get this way love
what brought on all this weight love
open up your arms, the angels want to listen
but the devil you've been kissing all night long


you think you're very clever, but you guard yourself with hate
you see your life as chess, but you've castled far too late
I can't believe the innocence that I thought you could once posess
your minions are all grinning, they're just counting down the days
when everything comes crashing, we'll be with you through and through
I see that silver lining, but you've painted it with blue
you're skiing to the bottom, so you feel like you're on top
the rumours are all true
we're still waiting here for you

there's more to life than this, you're still searching for the bliss you had the first
time that you kissed the devil's lips

Now you're washed up on the shore, there's no feeling anymore
our love is growing tired, and the warranty's expired
