I hope it rains on your birthday So you will know what it's like to feel so extinguished In the meantime I will pass the torch to the next contender Pretending that I'm not scared to death And I want to see what you have left for me to lose Their circumstantial impressions of you will run loose I know we can't live this down There's too much they've found out And now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in And now I'm all figured out I'll swear I'm all there But i won't romanticize All these fragile lives If you're out of sight I can't sleep with the lights out I hope you're sad Was he worth it? You shouldn't be happy But you know that We're caught in the aftermath of a train wreck Convinced that i was forcing you off the tracks Just know that On your head be this shy post-pubescent mess Dealing with stress the way that he knows best I confess We can't live this down There's just too much they've found out Now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in And now I'm all figured out I'll swear I'm all there But I won't romanticize All these fragile lives If you're out of sight I can't sleep with the lights out He's just a boy with ambition And she's the girl who won't listen The story never gets old Just the way that we tell it Murder by word of mouth Her lips break into a smile And all my weaknesses They become They become He's just a boy with ambition And she's the girl who won't listen It's murder by word of mouth Your lips break into a smile And all my weaknesses They become They become her The story never gets old And now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in You've got me figured all out And now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in And now we're all figured out It's by word of mouth You'll be just another rain cloud
