he was the exception to the rule
you'd never accept that he could cut you down
like all the others did
you promise yourself you'll play it cool
and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
when your champagne bottle heart explodes
and love gets on your sunday clothes
there's no way to seal it up again
everybody sees that you've got several missing pieces
but instead of what you need
they give you thread and a needle
to patch it up and move on
it's not at all comforting to know
that they chose to come for you
knowing that meant no one came for him
your shattered face is still exposed
paying the debt you owe in tears that burn your wounded skin
when your champagne bottle heart explodes
and love gets on your sunday clothes
there's no way to seal it up again
everybody ses that you've got several missing pieces
but instead of what you need
they give you thread and a needle
to patch it up and move on
your two faces are all i see
