Don't say my name
It's not the same one you said so long ago
Don't point the blame
I'm not ashamed of how much you still don't know
I still hate your vanity
But you know, if you asked, I'd gladly die for you
This piece of cardboard says you still love me
But just writing it down's not enough to make it true
To you I was one of many, you the same for me
But I can't remember any other time I felt less free
I'm not into wasted time and I'm not down for jealousy
You can call me what you want but you can't tell me what to be
But when I'm down, you come around
And everything's allright, everything's allright
I won't ask you why
It's no surprise all your friends think I'm a whore
Don't reminisce
It's come to this: you got all that you asked for
You knew I was different
So forgive me for saying you provoked your pain
Why come back with the same intent?
I'd give you a clean slate, but you'd still see the stain
To you I was one of many, you were the same thing
And it's not like I would change that for a fancy, flimsy ring
I know love is bound to burn and sever, lust is just a sting
I'm a person, not a puppet, so I've got no use for strings
But stay a while, 'cause when I see your smile
Then everything's allright, everything's allright
