I've lost my voice I've said all I have to say You're thick as porcelain As clear as cellophane. I miss the nervous shake And miss the way it hurt The way it killed to think That I had You first, that I had you first So then I force a smile and I take the stage Now my knees are weak try to concentrate I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take... I look into your eyes See the chemicals You're the whitest white You've become a ghost You're dead to me so why can't I let you go? The phone is like a knife I drive into my ear I had a love affair With distance and with fear The bus is like a hearse Driving me from her She's as black as white She the perfect curse She's the perfect curse So then I force a smile and I take the stage Now my knees are weak try to concentrate I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take... I look into your eyes See the chemicals You're the whitest white You've become a ghost You're dead to me so why can't I let you go? And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie, you could come down on me. And if you saved my life, how could I survive, you're the one that made me This way So then I force a smile and I take the stage Now my knees are weak try to concentrate I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take... I look into your eyes See the chemicals You're the whitest white You've become a ghost You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?
