I want something different in my life. And I want something worth the pain once in a while. But all I can buy is a week's worth of compliments. All I can get is a momentary boost. All I can gain is a false sense of confidence. Close as I get I'm still too far from you.
I want to get you off every night. And I want to scream until the world gets right. But all I can buy is a ten minute fantasy. All I can get is the simulated truth. All I can have is your temporary stand-in and as close as I get I'm still too far from you.
I hate that you're never gonna change your mind. And I want a love that I will never find. 'cause all I can buy is an artificial happiness. All I can get is some pre-processed truth. All I can have is the red light special and as close as I get I'm still so far from you.
