Wound so tightly
On the window sill
Bending backwards
And then backwards again
Chasing tails
Round and round until
The party's over
And we've emptied out the well
We'll stop believin'
The lies we tell ourselves
And no more building
Prisons in our heads
[Verse 1]
So no more "someday"
No lottery or fame
No more fake smilin'
And no more flat champagne
And no more thinking
"I won a race I wish I'd lost"
[Hook]
Bound by the wrists
We tell ourselves "we'll get over this"
Head in the stand
Cause we were busy making plans
[Verse 1]
Listen no more MTV or magazines
Start livin' my own
Reality dream
I wanna see it
I wanna be it
I wanna taste it all
[Hook 2x]
'Cuse all we want is to give
Our hearts to someone else
Love that is everlasting
The kind of love Hollywood sells
And the happy ending
Well it's all we really ask
Don't spend your life pretending
Your happy end already passed
