Bonfire of Vanities (October 22, 2013) w​/​Strangers Outro [October 29, 2013]

lyrics

[Verse 1]

I come here
To pour my guts to strangers
Who pour my drinks
It's safer; their job is to pretend
The romance
We both knew would not last
But wanted to believe in
For me, there's still the dream

[Chorus 1]

I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me

[Verse 2]

People, they all change
But the photos stay the same
Don't burn them; they'll always be true
But throw our fantasies in a bonfire of vanities
The truth hurts less than losing you

[Chorus 1]

I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me

[Bridge]

Woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 1]

I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me

[Chorus 2]

I'll finish what she started
And drown it in the sea
If home is where the heart is
Why'd she have to leave?

[Outro]

She don't belong
She don't belong to me
