"Superficial"

 

Superficial satisfaction

Go ahead and tell yourself

That there's more too it than that

Superficial adoration

Go ahead and tell yourself

That she sees all the shadows inside

Someday she will light

All the candles in your heart

And you will be blind

Someday she will leave

Taking your soul with her

And you won't know why

Superficial attraction

Exchange your reason

For a few words of unfelt love

Superficial manipulation

Call her baby call her love

But you will never mean it

Let her call you sweetheart

Just remember that

She will never love you

And she will never see

All that I see

Just at a glance

Just a momentary stare

Just a sample of all the truth

And all the lies in there

Superficial satisfaction

Survival is conditional tonight

For your life depends on darkness

And she's got candles to light

What she doesn't know

Will never hurt her

What she doesn't know

Will be the death of you

Superficial satisfaction

Will never be worth the loss

And "I love you" will never be true
