The years go by, but I don't change
Except my face gets old and my hair turns grey
And by the time I'm 25
I'm gonna lose the opportunity to start a life
I'll lose connections with my friends
I'm losing ways to get girlfriends
I'm addicted to attachment
The aftermath will bring me back
Cutting heartstrings to fill the void
To feel the sweet attack
I know you don't believe in love
I've seen it in your eyes
Count the figures from your past
And cut out all the lies
If you'll mean anything to me
It's gonna take some engineering
Need some ingenuity
Gotta run through the ringer again
Back to the journal of a lonely boy, sit in his room
Every snowflake that falls reminds me of you
I don't think I'll die
But I just wanted to be
Something more than ordinary
I can see you right through those makeup stained cheeks
I'll read you like a tarot
Scooting closer, I picture your lips in his teeth
He has the heart of a scarecrow
I know you don't believe in love
I've seen it in your eyes
Count the figures from your past
And cut out all the lies
If you'll mean anything to me
It's gonna take some engineering
Need some ingenuity
Gotta run through the ringer again
A one sided heart to heart
I never want to feel love again
The ignition's on, but the gas tank is running low (I don't know if I love you)
I know you don't believe in love (I know you don't believe in love)
I've seen it in your eyes
Count the figures from your past
And cut out all the lies
If you'll mean anything to me
It's gonna take some engineering
Need some ingenuity
Gotta run through the ringer again
Welcome to my party after nine
The drinks are cold, we're feeling fine
I'm not afraid to live my life
So please just hold me close and tight
And though we'll lose ourselves tonight
Tomorrow's lost all sense of sight
To see you happy is so nice
I think we're gonna be alright
