40 stories up it's night and day
Never met but I could guess your name
Said you reminded me of home
In all of that time we barely spoke
So lessons learned can quickly be erased
Pouring forties down the kitchen sink
All your talkin' I can't hear me think
Pushin', pullin' sees me on the brink
If it's all or nothin', let's break off these links
All of the best guys made you whole
All of the rest, I'll never know
If this is a test, I'll take my leave and I'm on the run
But now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
Chewin' on Valium
The jet is takin' off, I can feel the rot
Spreading, it's a killer disease, killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy, no good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
There's a place I could not let you in
Now there's a lot to tell you so listen
I was keepin' you out 'cause I've been hurt before
Becomin' a coward and I hate myself more
I'm not proud, but lookin' back now I had to run
Now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
Chewin' on Valium
The jet is taking off, I can feel the rot
Spreading, it's a killer disease, killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy, no good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
So with or without me, still felt you were drownin'
With so many options you pick the worst timin'
We don't talk about it, don't talk about anythin'
My love didn't stop when I cut it all off and-
♪
Cut it all off and begin to run
But now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
Chewin' on Valium
The jet is taking off, I can feel the rot
Spreading, it's a killer disease, killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy, no good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong really all along
You were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
