Camera Obscura

you can compliment me on the style of my hair
give me marks out of ten for the clothes that i wear
you probably thought i had more upstairs
i disappoint you
i can't see through your perfect smile
he likes to read books written for girls
he prides himself on being a man of the world
in the darkest of places he gets his thrills
he will disappoint you
if you see through his perfect smile
now, i think separation is okay
you're no star to guide me anyway
you only wanted me to play
how fool.. play by your rules
solo, etc
now my door has swollen from the rain
god knows we'll never see her face again
people get shattered in many ways
they can disappoint you
if you see through their perfect smile
now i think separation is okay
'cause you're no star to guide me anyway
you only wanted me to play
how fool.. play by your rules
how fool.. play by your rules
