lyrics

Magnesium

It was always you
The name I can't erase
You linger on my mind
Like the scent of your perfume on my pillowcase
Too dazzling to last
We were like magnesium
Any flame that burns that brightly burns too fast

Falling in love was easy
Loving you was divine
It's just staying in love that gets me every time

Be careful what you say
Be careful what you feel
Dreams are dangerous
When you start to think they're real
The lies you tell yourself
Are easy to believe
The lonelier you are,
the easier you'll be to deceive

I wish I could
Turn the clock back and delete
From when we said those three damn words
Through the day I wound up bleeding at your feet
Can you tell me what went wrong?
Did the crash surprise you, too
Or did you see it coming all along?

The reason they call it "falling"
Is that it hurts when you hit the ground
However high you get you must come down

Be careful what you say
Be careful what you feel
Dreams are dangerous
When you start to think they're real
The lies you tell yourself
Are easy to believe
The lonelier you are,
the easier you'll be to deceive
