Saw the sirens in the water
And the vampires in the corner
But I feel safest running round in circles with you
We were made to feel like outcasts
We were running from our own pasts
No one ever looked at me the way you do
And I can play the game with the best of them
But I can't hide my shame when you become the victim
How can I love you? And how can I fit in
When the guilt keeps tearing me limb from limb
And how can I make it up? When being human ain't enough
And it seems to me you just want someone to miss
And that's the end where I begin
You saw light reflect in rainbow rays
But for me they promised more rain
I told her that love was only equal to the pain
She dug her claws into my chest
While your friend stood there with a deadpan
Expression on her face as I heard you say
"It's just a choice, a choice we make"
But you only see the good in people
And I can play the game with the best of them
But I can't hide my shame when you become the victim
How can I love you? And how can I fit in
When the guilt keeps tearing me limb from limb
And how can I make it up? When being human ain't enough
And it seems to me you just want someone to miss
And that's the end where I begin
You kept asking me, you kept asking me
"When the rain comes down who will survive the flood?"
You kept asking me, you kept asking me
"When the rain comes down who will survive the flood?"
And we went to the party
And everyone was dressed in the opposite of funeral attire
Preaching ice over fire
I can only plead ignorance
But Lord knows I'll never do it again
You look gorgeous in white but you're much better in red
Better in red, better in red
You look gorgeous in white but you're much better in red
Better in red
Better in red, better in red
You look gorgeous in white but you're much better in red
Better in red
(Yeah, better in red, yeah, yeah, yeah)
How can I love you? And how can I fit in
When the guilt keeps tearing me limb from limb
And how can I make it up? When being human ain't enough
And it seems to me you just want someone to miss
And that's the end where I begin
The end where I begin
The end where I begin
Oh, the end where I begin
The end where I begin
The end where I begin
