You're all I have in this teenage twilight Your golden hair and pale blue eyes But through all the days And the sleepless nights We have never been satisfied Tumbling like the leaves We are spiraling on the breeze Almost to the point of no return Everything will burn baby burn Look into my tired eyes See someone you don't recognize Binds that can't be untied This is slow suicide Feelings that I can't disguise Never will be reconciled Something inside has died You walk like you're in a daze Unresponsive eyes in a distant gaze Like all the good times have flown away And their memory leaves a bitter taste Tumbling like the leaves We are spiraling on the breeze Destructive love is all we have Destructive love is all I am Look into my tired eyes See someone you don't recognize Binds that can't be untied This is slow suicide Feelings that I can't disguise Never will be reconciled Something inside has died Vicious bitter words Becoming more and more cruel But you always take me back And let me lick your wounds Tumbling like the leaves We are spiraling on the breeze Almost to the point of no return Everything will burn baby burn Look into my tired eyes See someone you don't recognize Binds that can't be untied This is slow suicide Feelings that I can't disguise We're living in a compromise Something inside has died
