lyrics

Of a girl who was morbidly plain
or to the untrained eye
though she was clinically insane

Guaranteed you never be the same
you may have seen the face
but have you heard the name?

And though times she thinks
she’s knows exactly what she wants from life
sometimes she feels so ashamed
And though times she thinks
she knows exactly what she wants she needs it now
those times indeed they have changed

Of the one who could always explain
programmed to deceive
never letting off the reigns
You used your brawn but she used her brains
now you’re just a glimpse
of a love she can’t regain

And though times she thinks
she’s knows exactly what to do with life
sometimes she feels she’s to blame
And though times she thinks
she knows exactly what to do so do it now
well those times indeed they have changed

Of a love that I tried to sustain
or to my untrained eye
for there was nothing left to gain
Guarantee I'll never do the same
you may have seen my face
but do you know my name?

And though times she thinks
she knows exactly what she wants from life
sometimes she feels so ashamed
And though times she thinks
she knows exactly what she wants she needs it now
those times indeed they have changed

Of a girl that I could not detain
Forever
