Verse:
i ve been doing lots of thinking lately
you need to know it s all about you you you
it s fair to say
you ve been doing lots of thinking lately
and we both know it s all about her her herrr
she can do no wrong
Pre-Chorus:
and if you re honest with me i ll be honest right back
i love you the things that you ve got you love the things that i lack
Chorus:
when all you ve gained begins to rust
and when your name decays to dust
i know
you ll show
i stood there as the curtains drew
it s plain to see we were but fools
i know
(pattern)
we were ripping at the seams
