I've been watering plastic flowers
The kind that never grow but never fade away
You found them in the graveyard
You put them in my hands
And they're still by my side today

If they get the dust you can wash'em with your tears
If they get the dust you can wash'em with your tears

When they start to get the dust you can wash them with your tears
They never grow and they never disappear
They never grow and they never disappear

You were the prettiest thing I had ever ever seen
But I can't even look at you
But I can't even look

Your voice is like a kind of candy whispering in my ears
But I can't even listen
I can't even listen

Come back to me
Come back to me

Can't even look into the prettiest eyes I ever did see
Can't even listen to your voice like a kind of candy whispering in my ears
Like candy whispering in my ears

Come back to me

I've been wishing they're all shooting stars
But they're just plastic stars
Falling from the ceiling as I dream
They blow in return of the lights
They fade as you fall fast to sleep
They fade as you fall fast to sleep

But I can't even listen
And I can't ever leave
I can't even listen
And I can't ever leave
