Lately, I've been slippin' away from you Can you tell me, does it hurt today? Yeah, there's no way, yeah To burn, there's no flames, yeah Praying 9 to 5 like a saint for you Can you tell me how it turned this way? Yeah, things have changed, yeah Yeah, filled with rage, yeah So lost in these diamonds So lost in this paradise Don't speed on that highway We need you to shine bright When life gets too complicated Please, stand with me after dark I'll stay in the limelight Like a beautiful afterthought Like a beautiful afterthought Sometimes, you'd ask me for something different Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't I would do things and you'd get annoyed I should've never done them, I wish I was different Why do we have to step away now? It's been a year, been a couple days now Since you called me sayin' you're worried Been hard for me dealin' with this space now No company, wishin' we could sit down 'Cause I'm sorry, but you don't want me So lost in these diamonds So lost in this paradise Don't speed on that highway We need you to shine bright When life gets too complicated Please, stand with me after dark I'll stay in the limelight Like a beautiful afterthought Like a beautiful afterthought I don't wanna forget about you I don't wanna forget about you, oh I don't wanna forget about you I don't wanna think about it Think about it
