Slivers

Cauterize

Are you loathsome tonight 
Chasing hours with wine 
If it's drama you wanted you know darling you got it 
It's what we do best always dressed to impress 
Try to cover it in make up but there's no hiding this mess 

Remember love and how we used to be in it 
She said she won't she's trying hard to forget it 
Remember lust and how a touch gave us shivers 
I can't get close to you your skin gives me slivers 

You don't care enough to cry 
There's nothing real left in your eyes 
No fairy tales no lullabies 
I'm only asking this of you one time 

May I have this dance before the moment's past 
I hate this song but I hope that it lasts 
I'll sing in your ear off time and out of key 
But you're just not happy being miserable with me 

The mirror ball fell to the floor between us 
So we can see how pathetic we look in a thousand little pieces 
So watch your step for the next three minutes 
I'm not giving up on you until this song is finished 

Remember love and all the ways that we'd make it 
We lost the passion when did you start to fake it 
Remember lust and how a touch gave us shivers 
I can't get close to you your skin gives me slivers 

The way you look tonight 
The way you can't look me right in the eye 
I've never seen a smile so wide 
I've never seen a smile so contrived 
I know that you would rather be anywhere but here with me 

May I have this dance because the moments passing 
I hate this song and it's just not lasting 
I'll scream in your ear off time and out of tune 
Just know I was happy being miserable with you
