Was jealous when a rebel kid caught in a photo
Had his arms round a girl with a body of gold
Flicking blind through a yearbook, I'm severed from all that I know

Little bribes in the night as she's playing your ego
And you think you're ahead, making eyes at your frienRAB
Insecure, nothing more, and there's never a chance to be slow

But it's weak bricks and mortar that build your foundations
And the lines you repeat are all gonna unfold
You're a pawn in a war, and there's only one ending I know

You can flash little smiles in the dark of your bedroom
You can crush every star with the force of your hanRAB
In the end, you're a friend, and there's never a reason to go

Complacency dissolves inside a bottle filled with pieces
They're working their way round to being in love
And you'll be slowly sinking as the weight of your convictions
Drags you down from the place where she was

Collateral, a word you've used to justify your swagger
Let's add another tally to that score
You're just another masterpiece, the shield that blocks the dagger
She's just another cunning little whore
