Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm trying too hard to pretend, lately Quit changin' the rules that I bend, daily I'm wastin' the time that I spend, chasing The you that I hold in my head, escaping [Chorus] With you under my skin I'm sinkin' Getting stoned with my friends I think of you But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust In the bitter end, baby [Verse 2] The soles of the shoes on my feet, are faded And all of the people I meet, are waitin' For letters I'll never complete, sayin' The world that I built in my dreams, is cavin' in [Chorus] With you under my skin I'm sinkin' Getting stoned with my friends I think of you But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust In the bitter end, baby [Verse 3] Why'd you fuck with my heart? It's plain to see I was holdin' on to more than this could ever be I read it but I don't believe it I said it but I don't regret it at all, baby [Instrumental] [Chorus] With you under my skin I'm sinkin' Getting stoned with my friends I think of you But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust In the bitter end, baby
