Mona Lisa

Wind blows through the alley here

On the darkest nights of June

I thought I saw a glimpse of your reflection

But that vision wasn’t you

I give a little, to take a minute

And I'm trying to catch your name

Not leaving it out, not giving it up

As you try to forget my face

Tell me what you want to believe

'Cause I couldn’t see

That what I was keeping was only a game

So why’d you want to be free

‘Cause I can’t conceive

That darling you don’t ever mean what you say

You took me out to nightclubs

And I wore your weight on my back

Why do you want me? I just look like nothing

And I only dress in black

To make things better, to have a second

Of your precious time to spare

Arranging your life, not all out of spite

As you throw away my tears

Tell me what you want to believe

'Cause I couldn’t see

That what I was keeping was only a game

So why’d you want to be free

‘Cause I can’t conceive

That darling you don’t ever mean what you say

Baby looks like Mona Lisa

I’d be lying if I don’t wanna try

When emotion is reasoned

Sparks a renaissance of being alive

For you, I feel exposed

I don’t have time to cope

What a weekend of fool’s gold

I know you’re alone

Tell me what you want to believe

'Cause I couldn’t see

That what I was keeping was only a game

So why’d you want to be free

‘Cause I can’t conceive

That darling you don’t ever mean what you say

Baby looks like Mona Lisa

I’d be lying if I don’t wanna try

When emotion is reasoned

Sparks a renaissance of being alive
