Casualty

Give me my dream and give me a scene
Where you have a past of which you are clean
Oh, give me a lie
Tell me you fell 'cos of my grace and not to help you erase her face
And oh, make it your best lie
'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands and if it does
Fall, if you do fall, it's my fault
So I don't wanna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you're gonna give me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
Tell me I'd find you're happy inside and if I end this you'll be fine
Oh, tell me a lie
Just look at me and say honestly that I'm all you want, not what you need
And oh, make it your best lie, love
'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands
And if it does fall, if it does fall it's my fault
So I don't wanna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
And I've been playing games
And now I've change my ways
The character I always played
Helped me to forget my name
But now I know,
So get out of my way
'Cos I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
It's been too long since I looked after me
I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you seem to give me is your pain
I'm not gonna be, no
