I hear the hands on the clock
Tick tock, tick tock
As you walk away
I speak my mind
Say it line by line
But I never have a lot to say
So I write you a letter
Try forget her
And I send black leather astray
They say that time's gonna heal
But it feels like
That was just another mistake
You're the silhouette in my mind
Wasting my time
Wasting my time
Wasting my time
The shadow behind my eyes
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
The silhouette in my mind
Do I wanna try
Do I wanna try
Do I wanna try
In the darkness I'm falling
The silence is calling
But it's taking me right down
You're my Dirty Valentine
And my heart beats out of time
When you twist my truth into a lie
The tongue tied, white lies that I try
Just never seem to work anymore
Eyes blurred, your words, my words
I'm always running like I did before
Heartless, I'm a mess, I confess
Everything when I'm falling apart
Sick joke, stick and poke, as I float
In the space between my head and my heart
You're the silhouette in my mind
Wasting my time
Wasting my time
Wasting my time
The shadow behind my eyes
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
The silhouette in my mind
Do I wanna try
Do I wanna try
Do I wanna try
In the darkness I'm falling
The silence is calling
But it's taking me right down
You're my Dirty Valentine
And my heart beats out of time
When you twist my truth into a lie
You're my Dirty Valentine
And my heart beats out of time
When you twist my truth
You're the silhouette in my mind
Wasting my time
Wasting my time
Wasting my time
The shadow behind my eyes
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
The silhouette in my mind
Do I wanna try
Do I wanna try
Do I wanna try
In the darkness I'm falling
The silence is calling
But it's taking me right down
You're my Dirty Valentine
And my heart beats out of time
When you twist my truth into a lie
