"Shivers" lyrics

"Shivers"

I've been contemplating suicide
But it really doesn't suit my style
So I think I'll just act bored instead
To contain the blood I could have shed

She makes me feel so weary
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even my mother couldn't tell

That my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Send a permanent shiver
Down my spine
Down my spine

Well, I keep her photograph against my heart
Cause in my life she plays a starring part
Our love could hold on cigarettes
There is no room for these cheap regrets

She makes me feel so weary
My heart is really on its knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even my mother couldn't tell

That my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Send a permanent shiver
Down my spine
Down my spine

Sends a permanent shiver down my spine
