Fake Plastic Rhinestones

You move faster than the average of the world
Then you stop, they call it even
When I go over all the lies we told before
It's enough to call it even

And you fall and you crawl, afraid of what you have to do
It's too late but you wait, thinking I'd be lost without you
But I hear, when you talk it is all about you

You said I was dragging you down and pulling you under
See what you lost
You traded gold for glittering beads and fake plastic rhinestones
There's what you've got
It's not enough

You could never see the strength I knew I had
So I couldn't see it either
I worked hard to keep an illusion you would break
Do you think that makes us even?

It's not true that I'm blue, I'm only furious with you
Burning eyes, you know why? Because you never even tried!
Not a chance for the work that I laid down for you

You said I was …

But you fool, you don't see, and you don't listen you can't hear
When I try to explain, but now I do not really care
I'm so good without you, and we're staying apart

You traded gold for glittering beads and fake plastic rhinestones
Do you see what you've lost?
I think you were dragging me down and pulling me under
And now I know what I've got
And it's enough – it's enough – it's enough.
