The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

She had eyes like crazy diamonds

And you ran with feet of clay

we rolled the windows tight as they would go

It was a smoggy day

She looked up and asked me if I ever had a lover that I did not betray

And I turned on the radio and I looked the other way

She said you're smart, but in a stupid way



Chorus:

And this is the price that you pay

For being smart in a stupid way

You stand there staring while your lover walks away

Being smart, in a stupid way



The doors they close like eyelids

The train just pulled away

Sometimes I smell the perfume that she was wearing that day

And I wonder if there's anyone that I'll ever love in any way

Maybe I'll grow up and be good someday



Maybe this pain I feel will go away



Chorus



So why is my heart so hollow,

And why are my dreams so shallow?

And why don't I ever have anything else to say"

And why is my love so far away"



Chorus

The words that poured forth from your mouth stung with a burning sharpness, almost like a slap to the face. It flooded my eyes with angry tears, flushed my face with hatred and strangled my breathe. But, you would never see this. You would never see any of this with you being so comfortably far away, your only connection through a telephone.

Sometimes, when you're together,

you can't imagine being apart.

Yet, when you're apart,

it's nice to be able to breathe.

I guess it's just human nature.

You simply crave it all.
