I'm trying too hard to pretend lately
Quit changing the rules that I bend daily
I'm wasting the time that I spend chasing
The you that I hold in my head escaping
With you under my skin I'm sinking
Getting stoned with my friends I think of you
But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust in the bitter end baby
The soles of the shoes on my feet are faded
And all of the people I meet are waiting
For letters I'll never complete saying
The world that I built in my dreams is caving in
With you under my skin I'm sinking
Getting stoned with my friends I think of you
But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust in the bitter end baby
Why'd you f*ck with my heart
It's plain to see that I've been holding on to more than this could ever be
I read it but I don't believe it
I said it and I don't regret it at all
With you under my skin I'm sinking
Getting stoned with my friends I think of you
But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust in the bitter end baby
