If you're your mother's favorite son
Why are they handing you the gun
Your bullets never hit the moon
This war could never end too soon
It's all very well that you tell me to be who you think that I am
So I act in a way that I think I should be
But in fact in the end I'm not only pretending for you but for me
To say it's your love
But it's mine
To say it's your love
It's come on time
I'm sending myself away
You're looking down on what you've got
Have you ever loved yourself
Are you in love with someone else
Are you ever going to take that jump
Since your wings melted in the sun
It's all very well that you tell me to be who you think that I am
So I act in a way that I think I should be
But in fact in the end I'm not only pretending for you but for me
To say it's your love
But it's mine
To say it's your love
It's come on time
I'm sending myself away
You're looking down on what you've got
On the most perfect day of your life it rains
You think you change your mind and go insane
You're giving more than you'd ever let them take and they take
To say it's your love
But it's mine
To say it's your love
It's come on time
I'm sending myself away
You're looking down on what you've got
