i can't let you be  cause your beauty won't allow me  wrapped in white sheets  like an angel from a bedtime story  shut out what they say  cause your friends are fucked up anyway  and when they come around  somehow they feel up and you feel down  when we were kids  we hated things our parents did  we listened low  to casey kasem's radio show  that's when friends were nice  to think of them just makes you feel nice  the smell of grass in spring  and october leaves cover everything  have you forgotten how to love yourself?  i can't believe all the good things that you do for me  sat back in a chair  like a princess from a faraway place  nobody's nice  when you're older your heart turns to ice  and shut out what they say  they're too dumb to mean it anyway  when we were kids  we hated things our sisters did  backyard summer pools  and christmases were beautiful  and the sentiment  of coloured mirrored ornaments  and the open drapes  look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes  have you forgotten how to love yourself?
