[00:07.32]ooh! get me away from here i'm dying
[00:10.74]Play me a song to set me free
[00:13.62]Nobody writes them like they used to
[00:16.35]So it may as well be me
[00:19.80]Here on my own now after hours
[00:22.89]Here on my own now on a bus
[00:25.92]Think of it this way
[00:27.24]You could either be successful or be us
[00:32.40]With our winning smiles, and us
[00:36.00]With our catchy tunes and words
[00:38.34]Now we're photogenic
[00:40.41]You know, we don't stand a chance
[00:44.28]Oh, i'll settle down with some old story
[00:59.94]About a boy who's just like me
[01:02.85]Thought there was love in everything and everyone
[01:06.84]You're so naive!
[01:08.97]They always reach a sorry ending
[01:12.03]They always get it in the end
[01:14.97]Still it was worth it as i turned the pages solemnly, and then
[01:21.39]With a winning smile, the poor boy
[01:26.94]With naivety succeeds
[01:27.42]At the final moment, i cried
[01:30.90]I always cry at endings
[01:52.92]Oh, that wasn't what i meant to say at all
[01:54.66]From where i'm sitting, rain
[01:57.54]Falling against the lonely tenement
[02:00.78]Has set my mind to wander
[02:03.87]Into the windows of my lovers
[02:06.54]They never know unless i write
[02:09.36]'this is no declaration, i just thought i'd let you know goodbye'
[02:15.48]Said the hero in the story
[02:18.66]'it is mightier than swords
[02:21.48]I could kill you sure
[02:23.25]But i could only make you cry with these words'
