Let's publicise our happiness Or at least I'll force a smile My weakness was my kindness And I liked it for a while Trying to buy, trying to buy Trying to buy my charm Making me think, making me think You don't mean any harm Trying to buy, trying to buy Trying to buy my charm I know who you are A bird inside a cage A bittersweet escape I tried to make you proud You loved me til you didn't A paranoid parade I won't try to explain When I burn down the house You'll know why I did it Politicise my loneliness Til it gets you wherе you want Don't even know if I exist Outsidе these lines you've drawn Trying to buy, trying to buy Trying to buy my charm Making me think, making me think You don't mean any harm Trying to buy, trying to buy Trying to buy my charm I know who you are A bird inside a cage A bittersweet escape I tried to make you proud You loved me til you didn't A paranoid parade I won't try to explain When I burn down the house You'll know why I did it You'll know why, you'll know why I did it Did, did, did it When I burn down the house You'll know why I did it
