Singing songs
They'll never understand
Tempo drifts
In half-cut wonderlands

Back when you were beautiful
They'd smile and shake your hand

Friendship comes
But it mostly goes
You mark the time
With your fading clothes

Back when you were beautiful
You'd pass it off as pose

You walk for hours
Your feet like lead
You keep your secrets
Locked inside your heads

Back when you were beautiful
The needle pushed the red
