strange embrace

i get blessings in the morning

cause there's been silver fish crawling across my bed

since last year at the party when

you kissed that girl with the purple hair

you carried her down the stairs

and you should be ashamed that was an accident

and you know i always hated that

to be reminded that

i gave you everything

you're picking her up

you're gaining her trust

you're taking too much now

it's never enough

and you may have the world under your covers

but you're still so lonely

i can see it in your eyes

when every pretty face is just another strange embrace

hundred and thirty dollar turtleneck

she'll probably be into that

you even sold me on that doctor

how does it feel

lying to yourself every day

questions of what it is you're worth

neglected

shivering

i thought you had everything

and you may have the world under your covers

but you're still so lonely

i can see it in your eyes

and every pretty face is just another strange embrace

and to think i was in love with an illusion

i wonder who you're foolin' this time around

incapable of feeling for another strange embrace

you're picking her up

gaining her trust

you're taking too much now

it's never enough

and you may have the world under your covers

but you're still so lonely

i can see it in your eyes

and every pretty face is just another strange embrace

and to think i was in love with an illusion

i wonder who you're foolin' this time around

incapable of feeling for another strange embrace
