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
