How I love to hate the morning sun and the cheerful voices as they come to erase my dreams with sordid smiles
How I love to hate the things I've done, and to love the things that make me numb
Using earnest words for empty lines
How I'd love to break their telescopes
Girl, you'll go so far, I hope, but all those stars are just a joke
How I'd love to feel the love I fake and make love to things I hate
My future's bright, behind me
See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage
As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again
How I hate to love when others dance
Take a chance, they romance
Their hearts beat, one by one
How I hate the words, "Let's have fun," "You're the one"
I can only wonder, when it's ever done
How I hate to love playing dumb, none for all, all for fun
Open arms and itchy thumbs
How I hate to love the ones I love, love to hate myself so much
Love to hate me when I love
See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage
As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake
The dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage
As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again
See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage
As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake
See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage
As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake
The dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage
As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again
(Never, ever, ever, ever)
(Never, never, never, ever, ever, ever)
(Ever, ever)
