I sold my soul for diamonds 
And reason for acclaim 
Been begging for white angels 
To blow my mind away 

Been growing funny flowers 
Where roses never grew 
I stayed awake all night 
When I woke up from dreams 
Of me and you 

I tried to take the sun and I went blind 
God help me to erase you from my mind 
I'm growing cold 
And the night is yet to come 
Anyone tell me is this 

The way it's meant to be 
Lost and isolated 
I'm way too complicated 
For you to lean on me 

I play a losing game 
I cried in desperation 
Mental devastation 
I'm blowing out the flame 

Self-pity gave me shelter 
I always hid away in vice 
Dyslexic, torn and tattered 
I tried to read the signs 

You never tried to take a look 
At the one I'd have died to be 
Now it seems you don't see me at all 

Was it all worth it 
Visions holding sway 
When the real thing got lost along the way 
Yes anyone tell me is this 

The way it's meant to be 
I'm lost and isolated 
Way too complicated 
For you to lean on me 

I play a losing game 
I cried in desperation 
Mental devastation 
I'm blowing out the flame 

Yes anyone tell me is this 
The way it's meant to be 
Lost and isolated 
I'm way too complicated 
For you to lean on me 

I play a losing game 
I cried in desperation 
Mental devastation 
I'm blowing out the flame
