The Skull Behind The Smile

So maybe you figured
She fell from the sky
Into your lap
With no reason why

Too good to be true
She’s not what she seems
She'll give you some love
And take all your dreams

Head starts to spin
Heart starts to pound
Intoxicated
You sink to the ground

She sold you a dummy
to be by your side
She's in for the kill
And she won’t be denied

Nina comes to cast her spell then she slips back into the shadows
You can't help but feel
You've been here before
You come to your senses
And show her the door

Heart-breaking
Mistaken
She’s the gift that keeps on taking
You know that she’ll never go out of style
But maybe you'll see
The skull behind the smile

Happy returns
And last-minute plans
You don't even realise
it's out of your hands

She’s destined to find you
There's nowhere to run
You pull on the ribbon
And then you're undone

Nina comes to cast her spell then she slips back into the shadows
You've broken the seal
There’s no going back
She blows you a kiss
That turns everything black

Heart-breaking
Mistaken
She’s the gift that keeps on taking
You know that she’ll never go out of style
But maybe you'll see
The skull behind the smile

Heart-breaking
Mistaken
She’s the gift that keeps on taking
You know that she’ll never go out of style
She’ll always be
The skull behind the smile
