Cause if I want it
Well I know just where to look
Eyes smile upon my face
As do a blaze with mouths oh
But I don't need it
No I'm not bound in an open book
Like I be inside every night
Why not go bowling on the [?]
Cause if I felt love
I would not feel so smug to say
It almost seems to tear them down
You wrap 'em up and set 'em free
And I don't need love
I'd rather find another day
To build 'em up and tear 'em down
In the usual way
You think you need it
You tell yourself that it's alright
Scared to believe it
Oh I'd rather curl up and die
Cause when you felt love
The numbers show it doesn't stay
And listen to the lovers fight
Not after nothing after [?]
And I don't need love
I'd rather find another way
To build 'em up and tear 'em down
My own usual way
Time plays its tricks upon the world
I never show 'em what is real
I think I get more than enough
I never show 'em how I feel
Time plays its tricks upon the world
I never show 'em what is real
I'm always getting by
Just finally getting by
Send 'em all shadows
And disappear in another's eyes
Callous and shallow
Our loneliness is our disguise
Cause I don't need it
I don't need no 'nother way
To build 'em up and tear 'em down
To wrap 'em up and set 'em free
Yeah I don't need love
I'd rather find another way
To build 'em up and tear 'em down
My own usual way
(Time plays its tricks)
