Mm mm, Mm mm, Mm mm, Mm mm,
Mm mm, Mm mm, Mm mm, mmm
Now I've lost the plot
I'm not the hero I could be,
But not the dog I was
Kind of common cry,
Kind of common living lie

Color my fast fading heart
People laugh at anything,
And things just fall apart
Kind of common cry,
Kind of common living lie
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Now they'll sleep all right

Now eyes burn circles in the dark
And when the mirror talks to me, I listen with my heart
Kind of common cry,
Kind of common living lie
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Now they'll sleep all right

You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Kind of common cry do do do do
Kind of common cry do do do do
Kind of common cry do do do do
Kind of common cry do do do do ooo
