The Party (Extended Mix)

You don’t care like I do

Because you don’t

You don’t let love in

Because you won’t

You can’t tell me the truth

Because it’s inside of you

Locked away in some

Packed and dusty room

Yeah, we’re still best friends because I try

Cause I’ve let go of my anger a thousand times

And you can say that it ain’t me

Just to keep me happy

But I’m not

But I’m not

Oh, you can be so mean

Oh, you can be so mean

When you tell me pretty things

Broken crystal in the sink

The party never goes the way you think

Well, I hope you get that job in Miami

I hope you find a girl that doesn’t look like me

And that you forget my name

Act like I never came

In like a storm to cover you

And wash you clean

Oh, I could be so mean

Oh, I could be so mean

But that’s not me

I love you selfishly

The party never goes the way you think

And then you’re dancing in your room

Wishing they were there with you

With pricks of needles in your thumb for vanity

Oh, what a pretty dress they’ll say

Don’t give a damn about the way

They’ll judge from pain if I deserve a smile, too

Well, hope can’t grow where hope has died

But I can plant a thousand times

So stop the voice inside your head

And speak to me

Oh my darling

Turn down the lights on pretty things

You’ll see that they’re not everything

Don’t sell your heart for vanity

So fuck everyone that ever tried to sell you a dream

They’ll take away everything

So, leave the party with me
