lyrics
when love's first blush is gone
the fruit has fallen off
and we're left scratching heads
it hurts so we're not dead
when weariness sets in
and fame is wearing thin
so soon do we forget
it hurts so we're not dead
when we are disconnect
we don't feel, just expect
and we're not full, just fed
it hurts so we're not dead
when even pain is old
and doesn't hurt as should
and we're desperate to be bled
it hurts so we're not dead
the fruit has fallen off
and we're left scratching heads
it hurts so we're not dead
when weariness sets in
and fame is wearing thin
so soon do we forget
it hurts so we're not dead
when we are disconnect
we don't feel, just expect
and we're not full, just fed
it hurts so we're not dead
when even pain is old
and doesn't hurt as should
and we're desperate to be bled
it hurts so we're not dead
