Second Hand Pain Lyrics by Tarquin Alexandra

Pretend EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Slightly left of right
Close to wrong as night time
Feels behind my eyes
Muted neon stop signs
Satisfying view
Out the fading rear view
Always missing you
I’ll reinvent myself too
I’ll reinvent myself too
I’ll reinvent myself too
I’ll reinvent myself too
[Pre-Chorus]
A first thought
An overnight bus
A last thought
An overnight love
A safe thought
A dangerous glove
My fucked thoughts
Too painful to touch
A first thought
An overnight bus
A last thought
An overnight love
A safe thought
A dangerous glove
My fucked thoughts
[Chorus]
They say that beauty is pain
(Beauty is pain)
Second hand pain to me
(Second hand pain)
I’ve never been so vain
(Been so vain)
I’ll take the bullet right through your satin sheets
For you to keep me
[Verse 2]
Hold on to your seats
We’re driving down the fast lane
Someone take the wheel
I’m washing off the blood stains
Streaming down my face
I’ll take the blame from your name
Crash the fucking car
We’ll die and come back all brand new
I’ll reinvent myself too
I’ll die and come back all brand new
I’ll reinvent myself too
[Pre-Chorus]
A first thought
An overnight bus
A last thought
An overnight love
A safe thought
A dangerous glove
My fucked thoughts
Too painful to touch
A first thought
An overnight bus
A last thought
An overnight love
A safe thought
A dangerous glove
My fucked thoughts
[Chorus]
They say that beauty is pain
(Beauty is pain)
Second hand pain to me
(Second hand pain)
I’ve never been so vain
(Been so vain)
I’ll take the bullet right through your satin sheets
For you to keep me
[Bridge]
I can’t play pretend
I’m living like a ghost again
Condemned to forget
Lend myself
Reverse revenge
Pretend to forget
I’m dying as myself again
My friends play revenge
Reverse myself
Then bend my head
[Chorus]
They say that beauty is pain
(Beauty is pain)
Second hand pain to me
(Second hand pain)
I’ve never been so vain
(Been so vain)
I’ll take the bullet right through your satin sheets
For you to keep me
