lyrics

my skies are dark as hell, and you in cloudless heaven
no truth that I can tell, and you in cloudless heaven
I look up to my skies, they fall in all around
no I ain't doing well, and you in cloudless heaven

when we were kids we had such fun
we laughed and played the days away
somehow you've held on to that sun
I struggle just to find a ray
you've been blessed with that appeal
I'm damned with shifty eyes
people know that you're for real
and I live lost in lies

you've always had a heart of gold
while mine is made of lead
you've found someone, you'll both grow old
I sit and cry in bed
you have the life I've always dreamed
is mine your worst nightmare?
you have won while I got reamed
it really isn't fair

jealousy is unbecoming
but I have unbecome
I have no strength to find the pieces
whose whole is now less than their sum
