I can't keep pretending like the moon ain't full
When the salts still burning out the diamonds below
You got the whole damn castle but you're missing the key
Now the lights have gone out and we're down on the street
You've got me believing in what stray dogs think
As I'm dreaming like a turncoat 'bout the Hollywood heat
You still break for a wild time
As you try to fix what you broke with a fire
How much do you need to feel alright
How can you breath with a dress sewn so tight
How many lies have told to the evening sky
How is it so hard for you to smile
Now the payphone's dead and the mailbox it broke
Just some numbers undialed, letters unwrote
But there stands a sleeve with a heart in its hand
Tell me why can't you believe in love in command
How much do you need to feel alright
How can you breath with a dress sewn so tight
How many lies have you told to the evening sky
How is it so hard for you to smile
Baby spin a record and wake me at 6
Now the house is dark and I'm late for the gig
Where have you gone, baby where have you been
Guess it ain't a game I'm destined to win
I guess I'll go down wondering
How much do you need to feel alright
How can you breath with a dress sewn so tight
How many lies have you told to the evening sky
How is it so hard for you to smile
How is it so hard for you to smile
How is it so hard for you to smile
How is it so hard for you to smile
How is it so hard for you
