lyrics

Orpheus my teller of tales
I knew better than to fall for you
With your gilded strings
And your honeyed lies
I knew you'd never stay by my side

Anytime you sing a song for someone else it kills me
Bit by bit and piece by piece
I fade slowly away

I never cared much for the chase
So it's only fair to take me out of your race
I'm not the one who'd risk death for you
So you needn't worry about saving me
Save me
Save me from you

Anytime you sing a song for someone else it kills me
Bit by bit and piece by piece
I fade slowly away

You only love the girls who kiss your feet
I only worship from afar
So don't look for me

Anytime you sing a song for someone else it kills me
Bit by bit and piece by piece
I fade slowly away
