Oh, I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
But I only meant for you to taste, not swallow
So try not to look into their eyes
Think that's a compliment, don't be so full of sentiment
Try just to keep hold of yourself
And I must try to understand
Trying not to listen to your lies
Try not to listen to their lies
Trying just to keep hold of myself
Where I end is where you must begin
Why you worship sweetness? What virtue's there in weakness?
And try not to look into their eyes
You say, I set a path for you to follow
Being pushed about is nothing much to shout about, I know
Oh, but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf
Try not to listen to their lies
And I've already given in
When I'm trying not to look into your eyes
Try just to keep hold of yourself
She's such a sweet girl free of the taints of this world
Don't say that everything is here to stay
