Mona Lisa

(альбом: Present Tense - 2022)

Wind blows through the alley here
On the darkest nights of June
I thought I saw a glimpse of your reflection
But that vision wasn't you

I give a little, to take a minute
And I'm trying to catch your name
Not leaving it out, not giving it up
As you try to forget my face

Tell me what you want to believe
Cause I couldn't see
That what I was keeping was only a game
So why'd you want to be free
'Cause I can't conceive
That darling you don't ever mean what you say

You took me out to nightclubs
And I wore your weight on my back
"Why do you want me? I just look like nothing
And I only dress in black..."

To make things better, to have a second
Of your precious time to spare
Arranging your life, not all out of spite
As you throw away my tears

Tell me what you want to believe
Cause I couldn't see
That what I was keeping was only a game
So why'd you want to be free
'Cause I can't conceive
That darling you don't ever mean what you say

Baby looks like Mona Lisa
I'd be lying if I don't wanna try
When emotion is reasoned
Sparks a renaissance of being alive

For you I feel exposed
I don't have time to cope
What a weekend of fool's gold
I know you're alone

Tell me what you want to believe
Cause I couldn't see
That what I was keeping was only a game
So why'd you want to be free
'Cause I can't conceive
That darling you don't ever mean what you say

Baby looks like Mona Lisa
I'd be lying if I don't wanna try
When emotion is reasoned
Sparks a renaissance of being alive...
