There's no need
To bring me down
There's no need to follow me
Around this town
'Cause making arrangements
For all our alibis
Spent implications
And used up all our lies
There's no need
To bring me down
There's no need to follow me
Around this town
Fate, fragile in our hands
Protected in our homes
Hide it while it's still alive
I'm on my way
'Cause passion makes you
Vain distracted, bored and pale
Lying while the flames arrive
And well, I wish I had a life
There's no need
To put me down
I've been lying in the place
Where I was found
You're making excuses
We're just a compromise
A used up distraction
From what you had in mind
You've already
Brought me down
Spent a lifetime
Waiting quietly to drown
We wasted arrangements
And watched our lives go dry
A broken attachment
To what we thought was right
Fate, fragile in our hands
Protect it in our homes
Hide it while it's still alive
I'm on my way
'Cause passion makes you
Vain, distracted, bored and pale
Lying while the flames arrive
And well, I wish I had a life
