The Green Pajamas

Death By Poisoning

Morning breaks, the first mistake
And you gaze into the Polaroid of pain
What's the chance she'll give you one more chance
When you know that none remain

All the wishing in the world won't bring her back
How you miss your perfect girl; she won't come back
She won't come back

Can't erase that feline face
Or the little vampire teeth when she smiles
I must admit I sometimes wished
I was you for a while

All the wishing in the world won't bring her back
Won't bring her back
How you miss your perfect girl; she won't come back
She won't come back

You still recall like it was yesterday
That first trembling kiss in the night
As you recall those deadpan eyes
That said goodbye
That said goodbye
They said goodbye

Who was it told you, "Go on take a chance"
It was me; I was wrong
Who was it laid your love to rest
It's been me all along

All the wishing in the world won't bring her back
Won't bring her back
How you miss your perfect girl; she won't come back
She won't come back
