You can talk the beauty from a sunset   And make it monochromatic   You can tell me it's miles of pollution   And that it's hell for asthmatics      This time   This time I will try hard not to care   Or hold up all the lies   To break them down again      This time   This time I will try hard not to fight   Or stare into your eyes   And waste the night      You can talk the poison from your lips   And make it metastatic   You can tell me it's my own delusion   But ma'am, it's so automatic      This time   This time I will try hard not to share   All the pretty things   Running through my head      This time   This time I will try hard not to start   All the pretty things   That break my heart      I won't stand for that   I won't stand for that   I won't stand for that   I won't stand for that      This time   This time I will try hard not to share   All the pretty things   Running through my head      I won't stand for that   I won't stand for that   I won't stand for that   I won't stand for that      This time   This time I will try hard not to share   All he dirty things   Running through my head      This time   This time I will try hard not to start   All the dirty things   That break my heart
