Closed Mind

Coolparadiso

V1 You paint your nails like
A faded movie star
Brush your wrinkled dress
The smile is just painted on
A ruse to hide the stress

V2 You say you have a calling card
You’ll leave it on the side
But you’ll never call again
Then you find a place to hide

C The truth is you never commit
Leaves only pieces behind
You’re happy to give your body
But will never share your mind

V3 You’re a victim of a previous time
Its clear that you’ve been burned
But if you carry on this way
Its wrong what you have learned

V4 You go and you pack your bags
there’s no hope in your eyes
For too many years
You’ve swallowed so many lies

C The truth is you never commit
Leaves only pieces behind
You’re happy to give your body
But will never share your mind

B You always stipulate
Try and manipulate
the ending tha suits you
There’s a price to pay
being only just your way
Considering no other view

V5 Soon you will be old and gray
Time to reflect
How could it end differently
What do you expect

C The truth is you never commit
Leaves only pieces behind
You’re happy to give your body
But will never share your mind
