[Verse 1]
I need blessings in the morning
'Cause there's been silver fish crawling across my bed
Since last year at that party when
You kissed that girl with the purple hair
You carried her down the stairs
And you should be ashamed
There was a lexical gap between your teeth
Fanatical tongue that knows its worth
But those words I laughed up gladly
And you know I always hated that
To be reminded that
I gave you everything
[Pre-Chorus]
You're picking her up
Gaining her trust
You're taking too much now
It's never enough
[Chorus]
And you may have the world under your covers
But you're still so lonely, I can see it in your eyes
When every pretty face is just another strange embrace
[Verse 2]
Just wear a hundred and thirty dollar turtleneck
She'll probably be into that
You even sold me on that doctor
Laughing, looking pleasantly interested
Anticipating accomplishment
How does it feel to keep your love on retail?
Lying to yourself every day, oh
Questions of what it is you're worth
Through a vacuum of neglected
Exes and roses, intimacy this hollow
You're sick of the shivering
I thought you had everything
[Chorus]
And you may have the world under your covers
But you're still so lonely, I can see it in your eyes
When every pretty face is just another strange embrace
At the end of the night
And to think I was in love with an illusion
I wonder who you're fooling this time around
Incapable of feeling for another strange embrace
[Bridge]
You're picking her up
Gaining her trust
You're taking too much now
It's never enough
[Chorus]
And you may have the world under your covers
But you're still so lonely, I can see it in your eyes
When every pretty face is just another strange embrace
At the end of the night
And to think I was in love with an illusion
I wonder who you're fooling this time around
Incapable of feeling for another strange embrace
At the end of the night
