Out of the corner of my tired eyes, I'm not surprised
It's now a quarter past too late, nothing new, it's no case out of the ordinary
I'm so very wrapped around your finger this time
Oh, won't you give me awhile to unwind?
You're on top of the world and I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world and if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?
Oh, you're on top of the world
You're like a splinter, just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much more inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinderblock, like a rock you're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I'm crying out, you don't hear me, you don't hear a sound
[Chorus]
Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize

I stop to catch my breath
And I stop to catch your eye
No need to second-guess
That you've been on my mind
Well I, I dream days away, but that's OK
It's like I want to hear a silent sound
And then hold it in my hand
But a rose won't blossom from a ground
Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that
One day I'll turn around, I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, oh
But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile
Just maybe you'd save me now
Well, now it's etched in stone
That I can't survive alone
You have the missing piece
That I need so desperately
Yes, I slip away to a day that'll never come
It's like a splash of water to my face
When I suddenly realize
That you could never find a place
For me in your eyes, and I don't know why I keep thinking
[Chorus]
It's love in disguise

I couldn't make this up
I have been outdone by my own kind
I always traded up, yeah
Now I'm a victim for the first time
Well I'm unaffected and indifferent
But I can't pretend I'm not over the edge
Well, well baby, what do you know,
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right, now I get it
This is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is
I was untouchable
Until karma crashed my party
Found out I'm crushable, oh
And I'm the only one who's sorry
I don't get rejected, I've somehow regressed
It's unprecedented, no second best
[Chorus]
No, no, no, don't you go
I do all the breaking up around here
No, no, no, don't steal my show
You should be the one crying these tears
[Chorus]
