Worse Than It Seems

I need to see you for a moment half undressed
Need to remember what you looked like in this
We're in danger of a crash landing
And I don't want to be the one left standing
Without a shadow cast by your sunlight
Another victim under pressure wrapped too tight
Well you're neurotic and I think I share the blame
But am I crazy if I think I'm insane?
Say so long, goodbye, it's alright
I live the lonely life that they write
In magazines and movie scenes
It's so much worse than they make it seem
When all along you watched me stumble
To find the words and only fumble
The beauty queens that steal the scenes
It's so much worse than they make it seem to be
I hope I didn't give away the tragic ending
We broken people have a way of quick mending
You slow dancing on the wood floors
No drinking spirits till we pass out anymore
You said you'd write me when the train stops moving
But I don't understand the point you're proving
Well now you're gone again
Like you always are
Yet you don't that I don't care just how far
Say so long, goodbye, it's alright
I live the lonely life that they write
In magazines and movie scenes
It's so much worse than they make it seem
When all along you watched me stumble
To find the words and only fumble
The beauty queens that steal the scenes
It's so much worse than they make it seem to be
And I was sure you'd realize that you made a mistake
How did leaving me come so easy for you
When you'd never break
I need to see you for a moment half undressed
Need to remember why I was so impressed
If we're the victims of a crash landing
Somehow I know I'll be the one left standing
Say so long, goodbye, it's alright
And when it comes I read what they write
In magazines and movie scenes
When all along you watched me stumble
You build me up and let me crumble
You drama queens you steal the scenes
It's so much worse than they make it seem to be
