I would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act
To come and take the sleep out of my night
And i would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act
To come and take the shine out of my life

Oh and i go through it all
Oh it's a thing like habit, i know

I would be a fighter for a tiny piece of a tiny feeling
Give it up to wonder what it's worth
And i would feel much bigger for the little joy that you get from stealing
I never really wonder what it's worth

Oh and i am dead and gone
Oh you will feel much older, i know

I would feel much better if i thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And i would do much better if i thought i fill any other need
And i miss you, oh
And i miss you, oh

And i would be complete if you could put me down in facts and figures
The hardest things are always black and white
And i would be complete if you could touch me once but it never figures
The easy things are never really right

Oh and i go day by day, oh it's a thing to live for, i know
And i would feel much better if i thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And i would do much better if i thought i fill any other need
And i miss you, oh
And i miss you, oh

Why don't you take a walk outside and see the mess i made
And see the mess i made
And i will be waiting with a knife just like an angry child
Just like an angry child
And why don't you go spread the word just like some disease
Just like some disease
I know your mother told you that you are god
But you are just a boy

I would be much better if i thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
I would do much better if i thought there was any other need
And i miss you, oh
And i miss you, oh

And i would feel much better if i thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And i would do much better if i thought there was any other need
And i miss you, oh
And i miss you, and i miss you
