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
