This Vanity

This Vanity - Phao

I remember words carefully preserved

As though their precious cargo could not bear

To taste the open air

And this vanity is like gravity it keeps me down

It's all about the self-control it takes it's toll

But when the shame takes over love dies

I love you I need you but I don't know why

Last night a life was offered

I have faltered one too many times

Please help me please tell me

How did I raise the stakes to aim this low

Since you know me by now

Please help me please tell me why

Before I do it again and hurt my friends

I remember lies carefully designed

To find their selfish targets in my soul

That's when I lost control

And this vanity is insanity it makes me sound

Like I don't have to choose a side

I've lost my mind but when the pain takes over love dies

I love you I need you but I don't know why

Last night a life was offered

I have faltered one too many times

Please help me please tell me

How did I raise the stakes to aim this low

Since you know me by now

Please help me please tell me why

I failed to send my sweet surrender

And again I failed to send my sweet surrender

And again I failed to send my sweet surrender

And again I failed to send my sweet surrender

Surrender

I love you I need you I don't know why

I love you I need you I don't know why

Last night a life was offered

I have faltered one too many times

Please help me please tell me

How did I raise the stakes to aim this low

Since you know me by now

Please help me please tell me why

Please tell me why

Please tell me why
