you liked it so much in the city   you know i could not stand it there   you loved to get lost in the people   and pretend that they really cared      you know you're such a bad imposter   hiding your wings beneath your coat   i watched your footprints making patterns   away from me into the snow      now i don't believe in nothing anymore...   cuz love is permanent and i'm temporary   and it's driven straight into our chest   and buried much too deep   to just pull out like we didn't guard it   it's permanent   well i'm sorry      so lately i've been going crazy   trying to get you off my mind   cuz thoughts of you hang just like pictures   and gather dust over the time      we hung them up just like real lovers   and drove our nails into the wall   cuz we thought they'd be there forever   we weren't permanent at all      and it's getting much too hard to see it now...   cuz love is permanent and i'm temporary   and it's driven straight into our chest   and buried much too deep   to just pull out like we didn't guard it   it's permanent   well i'm sorry
