"Made Of Wax" lyrics

"Made Of Wax"

I caught you staring at the mirror
You were looking at yourself as if you've aged 20 years
It's daylight, your head is in the sand
Love is a losing game, no one ever wins

I don't miss you, I never used to
I don't even think about you, I never care to
And I don't want to be the bearer of bad news
But if you come through, I don't want to see you

I'm calculated, I am well practiced
And I have been that way a hundred years
You move your mouth just to hear your voice
You shut your eyes to miss the point
Then you pretend you're different

I could explain it, can't make you understand
I could explain it, can't make you understand

Empty spaces you don't visit
I see a monument for what you once had
And you're not stupid, you're just not good at thinking
Or maybe you are just dead and I'm just always dreaming

Your heart is made of wax
Every small misstep that you couldn't mend makes a bigger mess
Secret is safe with me, I wasn't listening

I could explain it, can't make you understand
I could explain it, can't make you understand

You burnt bright, it is true
Now you're nothing but fumes
Silence is louder than me screaming at you
And I don't think you are clever like you do
I don't even think about you
