lyrics

Aesthetically, perhaps I’m not too pleasing

You wouldn’t introduce me to your friends

Your shoulder isn’t cold, my love; it’s freezing

Toward all the fawning poetry I’ve penned

Though I may be offensive to your senses

And worse yet to your sensibilities

I know when I’m around I’ll never lower your defences

But your heart beat loses its stability



You’ll never know what its like to be me

All these synthetic feelings have this power over me

You’ll never know what its like to be me at all



I wasn’t born - I was made; so I’m quite mature for my age

These boys, they say they love you but they have no clue

'cause even though my paper’s frayed I’m sure we’re still on the same page

It’s just a shame I know I’ll never have you

You'll never let me close enough to hold you tight

But despite my frightful face I’m quite the charmer

I’ll keep all your photographs close to me at night

As I dream of being your knight in shining armour



You'll never know what it's like to be me

You see, I'm falling apart at the seams

You'll never know what it's like to be me at all



Manufactured to feel lust, but incapable of seduction

Tease me if you must, but I must leave you this instruction:

I’m not sure how well I’m put together; I think I’m falling apart

So please be particularly careful with my heart



You'll never know what it's like to be me

How can you empathise with a different breed?

You'll never know what it's like to be me

You weren't created in a laboratory

You'll never know what it's like to be me

You see I'm falling apart at the seams

You'll never know what it's like to be me at all
