The night it was lazy And the streets were all crowded I walked through the door at the top of the stairs She looked like a girl from a renaissance painting With clouds in her eyes and leaves in her hair I said without warning you know ive been waiting She said i don't even know you So i doubt that that's true And i laughed at the wall And she stared at the ceiling You know i'm not so lonely And now neither are you
And i don't really care No i don't really mind No i don't really care As long as you're mine
She made me talk slowly and walked out of rhythm I went down the hallway and out through the gate And she followed me strangely into the moonlight And she spoke words of anger as if i were late I slipped past her guards and into her chamber I said i'm all out of roses but my thorns aren't to fear And she moved like the ocean away from my island She said you know i'm not so lonely So how come you're still here?
And i don't really care No i don't really mind Said i don't really care As long as you're mine
She mocked my good nature and pulled on my coattails She lifted me up and dropped me like a stone She said you know love is just like riding a bicycle And riding a bicycle's just another way to get thrown I turned to her laughter and let her words linger I slipped through her weak spot and watched as a cheer Turned from a victory into a massacre I said if you're not so lonely Then how come your still here?
Said i don't really care No i don't really mind No i don't really care As long as you're mine
