CHORUS:
Real emotion you never could show
Real emotion you couldn't let go
of the notion that real emotion isn't so
You cut and you chisel and you render your image of man
Then you live like a ghost in the back of the mirror your hand
and you made an impression in all you have faced
'cause you wanted approval you wanted their love
Though you told yourself you didn't care
And you trumped up your own self-important beyond all belief
Then you lived with the fear they'd find out though it'd be a relief
And kisses were fire that burned to your soul
and ---- some desire you just couldn't control
So you covered your heart with your head
and you laid in her bed til she shivered with cold
REPEAT CHORUS
