"Midas" lyrics

Since the first time I saw you
Knew I shoulda kept my
Hands off, stayed to myself
But I can't look away
And as all of the flags fly
I can see where I went wrong
Where the art shoulda stayed high
Hung up in the gallery

You're better without fingerprints
All over your porcelain
I didn't even let the paint dry
Shame if you went tumbling
I shoulda never pulled the curtain back
I shoulda left that room untouched
Now I'm struck in the depths of love
But I think I changed you too much

Looking at myself as the villain hurts the soul
Anybody evil know
If that feeling ever goes?
If there's a Midas touching everything to gold
They should follow where I go
Heal the havoc that I sow

If I'm a garden, why does nothing grow
When did all of these roots turn stone
How did all of this new life
Turn to dust before my eyes?

I look at it - it fades away
I touch it and the light escapes
In a moment it's gone
And the moment is gone

Since the first time I saw you
Knew I shoulda kept my
Hands off, stayed to myself
Heal the havoc that I sow

I stare at the pieces
I feel at the frayed ends
'Til it all starts to make sense
