Verse 1)
Empty chairs and whispered names
A broken mirror, shattered frames
They promise me the world and more
Then leave me lonely on the floor
A carousel of highs and lows
But they're just roles, a puppet show
And all their words are just a hum
That can't compare to what's to come
(Chorus)
'Cause the needle sings a clearer tune
Than all their promises under the moon
The pill bottle's got my back, I know
It won't ever get up and go
Love can hurt and people fail
But this chemical on my tongue, it won't derail
It's a perfect high, a perfect haze
Better than a love that never stays
(Verse 2)
They tell me, "find your soul's true mate"
"Open your heart, it's not too late"
But every time I let them in
They show me all the hurt and sin
They're busy with their own desires
Just setting off their little fires
And I'm just fuel, I'm just a flame
Another pawn in their little game
(Chorus)
'Cause the needle sings a clearer tune
Than all their promises under the moon
The pill bottle's got my back, I know
It won't ever get up and go
Love can hurt and people fail
But this chemical on my tongue, it won't derail
It's a perfect high, a perfect haze
Better than a love that never stays
(Bridge)
Maybe it's a foolish choice
To trade a hand for a silent voice
But this silence is a gentle friend
A beginning with no bitter end
It takes the pain and washes clean
The most beautiful, lonely scene
(Chorus)
'Cause the needle sings a clearer tune
Than all their promises under the moon
The pill bottle's got my back, I know
It won't ever get up and go
Love can hurt and people fail
But this chemical on my tongue, it won't derail
It's a perfect high, a perfect haze
Better than a love that never stays
(Outro)
Yeah, better than a love that never stays
Lost in this perfect, blurry maze.
This perfect, blurry maze.
I'm lost in this perfect, blurry maze.
