Everclear
A Shameless Use Of Charm
[Intro]
"You're gonna burn in hell for this one..."
Oh, hahaha
[Verse 1]
Yeah, he was rolling in the rumor
That he was the loser king for a day, yeah
Aw, she was kinda cross-eyed
She was damaged in a beautiful way, yeah
He was addicted to her body
When she opened up her legs and her heart
She was good at all the simple things
She was addicted to the subtle way he'd rip her apart
It was a shameless use of charm
[Verse 2]
She was delighted with the promise
Of a life of being bored and annoyed, yeah, yeah
He was happy with the pictures
That he painted with distortion and noise, yeah, yeah
He was a sex-addicted user
With a certain kind of flair
He did really not care that she was dumb and unaware
She was strong when they were naked, and alone in the dark
It was a shameless use of charm
[Chorus]
Everybody says they're looking for the fairy tale
No, they are just looking for a way to fall
Everybody says they're looking for the true love lost
Yeah, true love lust
[Verse 3]
He was big, bigger than the life she knew
Back when she was good with being slow and confused
She was clean, the best thing he had ever seen
She looked just like those girls he saw in Playboy magazine
They were lost, they were looking for the easy dream
Living high on borrowed time and running low on self-esteem
They were dead, they were helpless to the rush
It felt just like a white drug
[Chorus]
Everybody says they're looking for the fairy tale
No, they are just looking for a way to fall
Everybody says they're looking for the happy ending
No, they are just looking for a way to fall soft
[Bridge]
Just like anyone, they're just like everyone
They were looking for the easy way to have it all
Everybody says that they are looking for their true love lust
[Outro]
True love lust
True love lust
True love lust
