lyrics

Don't look at me like that, like I'm made of magic
You'll grow out of it.
They always do
And don't look at me like that, like I hold the world in my hands
You'll grow out of it
They always do

Don't look at me like that, like I make wine from water
You'll grow out of it
They always do
And don't look at me like that, like I'm some mystical creature
You'll grow out of it
They always do

I'd go back in time if I could
Light it all up on a pyre of wood
And these two hearts in my chest
Well, one just gave out, and the other doesn't have much time left
So burn it down, burn it down
Push my raft in the water
....watch me drown

Just look at me like that, like I'm carved out of stone
I'll get used to it
I always do
And don't look at me like that
When I say I'm better on my own
Get used to it
They always do
I would if I were you

I would if I were you

Intrinsically poetic, Wilde’s music is about the journey, rather than a set destination.
