Uh-oh, my story's not
The oldest of its kind
I was too touched to see you clearly
Far too young to realize
I, I had loved so dearly
You, whose world I had designed
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors
And it brought tears to my wide eyes
Dying just to see you
Dying since I misconstrued
Your blue heart, black eyes
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
I died right when I saw you
While you shared that cigarette
Uh-oh, I saw you every time
I closed my eyes
In the Hughes film I had scored
Produced and starred in, in my mind
I, I could recite you well
I'd written every line
But you strayed far from my flawless script
On which I'd spent a lifetime
Falling over dead
Dying since I had misread
Your blue heart, black eyes
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
I died right when I saw you
While you shared that cigarette
Falling over dead
Dying since I had misread
Your blue heart, black eyes
Fading, falling, words I won't forget
I died right when I saw you
While you shared that cigarette
In the Know
