I told the devil and the deep blue sea to hide. I thought that you were after them. I was right. But it's a picture I'll always keep in mind. Where you say I've never been even liked, For anything truly mine, And you did it looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Love enters and leaves you through your eyes. You threw away the only thing that I liked. And though they tell you things would be alright. It never really seems that way late at night, When you did it looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. And though I know that the world's not waiting for you nor for me. Now I know that the world you hated won't change, 'Cause you did it looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Looking as you are. Now you're gone I'll stand on my own.
