Trapped somewhere stifling between a birthday and a heartache
with a mad dog conscience out to get me
Waiting blowing icing bubbles	blowing off your steam
I'd really like to leave but you won't let me

You won't let me blow the candles out or burn them at both ends
as I'm writhing trying to shake you off my back
And I know that all this talk of parties, mayhem, love and death
is only giving me another heart attack

Knowing I am better	I guess I'd best be moving on
I see you turn your head away to hide another yawn
     You blow me a kiss	You blow me away
     You keep me awake	You keep me at bay
     And I never know just what to say
     How long can you treat me this way?

Rotting in the darkness of this prison that you built
I find a side of me I never knew
Stagnant and resentful	I boil in the haze
Forever wondering what to make of you

Somewhere, someone somehow managed to turn off all the lights
and I can't help but think that it was me
If I could, I would restore the faith and render our time holy
I'd take your hand	Together, we'd be free

You say I know better	I know I'd best be moving on
'cuz if I wait around for you, I'll blink and you'll be gone
     You'll blow me a kiss	You'll blow me away
     You'll keep me awake	You'll keep me at bay
     And now that I know just what to say
     How long can you keep running away?
 
You said I knew better	I knew I'd best be moving on
'cuz if I'd waited around for you, I'd blink and you'd been gone
     Blown me a kiss	Blown me away
     Kept me awake		Kept me at bay
     And now that I know just what to say
     How long can you keep running away?
