All I need is an alibi
A lie I've never told
And you could be my best kept secret
I'll be something you can hold
With the rhyme and the rhythm on the radio
I get your heart beating right in time
But all that I can hear is the sound of the shatter
So you can show me yours, but you'll never have mine
You've got me where you want me
You're pulling all the strings
You'll play me 'til I'm broken
Run the needle through the vein
You say you spent a lifetime living in a fantasy
Years in a love grown cold
One night hiding out undercover
The greatest stories never get told
By the sound of the song on the stereo
Time ain't on my side
All you wanna do is just dance around it
But I'm putting up a fight tonight
You've got me where you want me
You're pulling all the strings
You'll play me 'til I'm broken
Run the needle through the vein
Run the needle right through the vein
My heart is scarred and scattered
Under fire and against the grain
This can't go on forever
The record skips, but the song's the same
You've got me where you want me
You're pulling all the strings
You'll play me 'til I'm broken
Run the needle through the vein
Just run the needle through the vein
Run the needle right through the vein
Through the vein (Right through the vein)
Right through the vein (Through the vein)
Right through the vein (Through the vein)
