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
