Song lyrics

All along I had to talk about it

But like a two-edged sword

It cuts you and it stabs me

All along I knew you were a phony girl

You sit behind the mask

And you control your world

You sit around and I watch your face

I try to find the truth

But that's your hiding place

You say you love me, but it's hard to see

'Cause when he's in your arms

You're throwing rocks at me!


Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love?

I don't want you

If you can't answer

You know me


(There is nothing in your eyes)

There is nothing in your eyes

(But that's the way you cry)

But that's the way you cry, girl (Cry, girl)

(All is grand, all is bright)

All is grand, all is bright

(You're just studying my mind)


I walk around, I'm suffering in my doom

When I come to you

You're sitting in your room

You sit around in the strangest place

So take off the mask, so I can see your face!


Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love, babe?

I don't want you

If you can't answer

I know you


(Heaven must be wary)

Heaven must be wary

(Your smile is scary)

You got me scared, girl

(Insincere, empty tears)

Every year, yours are good

(Where's your soul? Where'd it go?)

You got me scared, girl


(Heaven must be wary)

Heaven must be wary

(Your smile is scary)

You know where you've been

(Insincere, empty tears)

Every year, na na na

(Where's your soul? Where did it go?)


Is it me

Is it you

Behind this mask, I ask


I walk around I'm suffering in my doom

And when I come to you

You're sitting in your room

You sit around in the strangest place

So take off the mask

So I can see your face!


Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love, babe?

I don't want you

If you can't answer

I know you!


Who do you love?

Is it me?

With you?

I don't know

Who do you love?

I don't want you

If you can't answer

I don't know


Is it me

Is it you

Behind this mask, I ask

Is it me

Is it you

Behind this mask, I ask

Is it me

Is it you

Behind this mask, I ask

I don't wanna talk about it (Let's talk about it)

I don't wanna talk about it (Let's talk about it)

I don't wanna talk about it (Let's talk about it)
