lyrics

I pour my heart in a paper cup, you drink it down with honey, but it’s never enough. I try to explain you’re like water in the sea. I drink you endlessly but I’m still thirsty. I try to make you the Sun.

I stay away from you but what do I do when you come up to me after the show. I see you talking me talking to you in slow motion, what’s the emotion, I’d like to know. I start to think that you are the One.

I pour my heart in a glass, you don’t even have to ask, it’s apparent I’m so transparent, you see right through me but I want you, to just see me. I try too hard to be the One

I give you my heart on a silver platter, it doesn’t really matter at all, I start to fall. After I slip, you tell me you’re sorry cuz you tripped me and I bumped my romantic head, when I tried to make you the One.

You look at me behind glass, you didn’t even bother to ask, if I wanted to be, your quixotic trophy on a shelf. You only thought about yourself, when you tried to make me the One. When you tried to make me the One.

We pour our hearts into paper cups, we drink it up and crush it and throw it away.
“Hey could you please recycle that, as a matter of fact it still belongs to me.”

I’m sorry I tried to make you the One
But for me it is no longer fun.
Things between us are finally done,
I will no longer make you the One.
