| This is the moment that you know |
Some guy is in a relationship with a girl, but it is purely physical. He doesn't actually love her.
|
| That you told her that you loved her, but you don't | |
| You touch her skin and then you think | |
| That she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me | |
| Yeah, she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me | |
| I spent two weeks in Silver Lake | |
| The California sun cascading down my face | |
| There was a girl with light brown streaks | |
| And she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me | |
| Yeah, she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me | |
| I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking | |
| As we moved together in the dark | |
| All the friends that I was telling | |
| All the playful misspellings | |
| And every bite I gave you left a mark | |
| As tiny vessels oozed | |
| Into your neck and formed the bruises | |
| That you said you didn't want to fade | |
| But they did and so did I that day | |
| All I see are dark gray clouds | |
| In the distance, moving closer with every hour | |
| So when you'd ask, "Is something wrong?" | |
| I'd think, "You're damn right there is | |
| But we can't talk about it now | |
| No, we can't talk about it now" | |
| So one last touch and then you'll go | |
| And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more | |
| But it was vile, and it was cheap | |
| And you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me | |
| Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me | |
| Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me |
