Your smile is lost on me today
Cos while I stick around all I really want is to get away
To where my words say what I mean
And all of this don't matter and there's no lines to read between
Cos all my friends got their own games
Strangled by their freedom, somehow I don't feel the same
But everytime there's a first kiss
Well the devil on my shoulder whispers "If only you could be like this"
You'd see that love's not what it used to be
You'd see
You'd see that the fun comes listening to me
You'd see
A slipknot waiting to be pulled
I slip on something that you said you trip on something you were told
Pull my strings and watch me fold
While the devil on my shoulder whispers at me "Now I've got you sold"
You'll see that love's not what it used to be
You'll see
You'll see that the fun comes listening to me
We'll see
It's the kind of thing I could do without
It's like someone else's words coming out of my mouth
And I just sit back and watch you sow the seeds of doubt
And I let go
Your smile is lost on me today
Cos no matter how hard I try it just, just won't go away
So I turn and wait for the next call
But the devil on my shoulder disappears with no goodbye at all
