I loved what you did for me
It was so 20th century
You sang in a famous band
Your name ended up on my hand
It's such a long time ago
When we said our first hello
But nothing was making sense
I just wanted it all to end

Fake love can't live forever
It fades away and starts to bleed
A dead love won't be remembered
It doesn't give me what I need

All that's left is a cover up
I never thought that I was enough
For you, was it true?
When the needle went to hit the flesh
I could feel the pain less and less
No more you
I got my cover up

Now I have replaced your name
So your memory will fade away
This butterfly set me free
Now you don't exist for me
It's such a long time ago
When we said our first hello
I thought you were all I had
But true love is not a fad

Fake love can't live forever
It cuts away and fades to black
A dead love won't be remembered
It kills your heart and starts to crack

All that's left is a cover up
I never thought that I was enough
For you, was it true?
When the needle went to hit the flesh
I could feel the pain less and less
No more you
I got my cover up

Loved it had it won it lost it
Brought it caught it been there
Done it made it played it
I'm not going back

All that's left is a cover up
I never thought that I was enough
For you, was it true?
When the needle went to hit the flesh
I could feel the pain less and less
No more you
I got my cover up
