Why, oh why, am I stuck this way?
Just take a deep breath, accept it, it's okay.
But that's hard you see, when I can't be
The perfect man, with good looks -- the man so astonishing.
See I'm a monster, I've got four eyes and a knife where my heart should be.
And you're wrong, it's not true, don't sell me lies to try and reconcile me.
Seems he's floating around in ecstasy, I'm bound
By the midnight sun, so when it comes just leave me alone and let me run.
Let me run.
Please, oh please, let me slip away.
Though my body is transient, my soul remains.
Hollow eyes hide the signs of pain,
So cast me out into the pouring rain and let me run.
See I'm a monster, I've got four eyes and a knife where my heart should be.
And you're wrong, it's not true, don't sell me lies to try and reconcile me.
Seems he's floating around in ecstasy, I'm bound
By the midnight sun, so when it comes just leave me alone and let me run.
Let me run.
Let me run.
