Artificial Heartbreak

I could never turn around now
Cuz you know too much about me now
And I could never fire a gun twice
Won't you put me out of misery

And you never tell me what I want to hear
You hide behind willow leaves so I can only watch you
Undress out of your solitude,
Strip down to your bones
Unveiling all that’s fake

But when the wildfire surrounds you
I never wanted to love you
I betrayed everyone that I ever knew
Just to be with you

And your willow dress falls softly to the floor
But your hands, they’re not quick enough to save the linen
Until it’s all drenched in gasoline
And your cigarette: the only beacon in the dark

But honey your wounds, they will never heal
If you can’t learn to forgive
It’s like they want me to define it to you
This artificial heartbreak

But when the wildfire surrounds you
I never wanted to love you
I betrayed everyone that I ever knew
Just to be with you

And there’ll be days when the fog lies heavy
And times when daylight won’t last
And nights when your only friend is Tolstoy
And that’s when you wanna die

But when the wildfire surrounds you...

But when the wildfire surrounds you
I never wanted to love you
I betrayed everyone that I ever knew
Just to be with you
