I saw cathedrals burning down on the afternoon news
800 years of standing strong
Reduced to ashes and messages on telephones to me and you
But that's life, I guess
Nothing beautiful can last
And while we go our separate ways
Why don't we take off these terrifying masks?
When I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
You're so shallow
Can you smile for me one last time
Can you laugh at me for a while
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
You're shallow
I never saw you so weak
Fading away without goodbye
You'd think that after twelve long years
You'd have the courtesy to look me in the eyes
But that's life, I guess
And it's a shame the way this had to go
Not even realizing the end of it
Until I asked you so that both of us would know
When I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
You're so shallow
Can you smile for me one last time
Can you laugh with me for a while
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
You're so shallow
