Camera Obscura - Books Written For Girls

You can compliment me on the style of my hair
give me marks out of ten for the clothes that I wear
you probably thought I had more upstairs
I disappoint you
can’t see through
your perfect smile.

He likes to read books written for girls
he prides himself on being a man of the world
in the darkest of places he gets his thrills
he will disappoint you
if you see through
his perfect smile.

I think separation is okay
you’re not star to guide me anyway
you only wanted me to play a fool
played by your rules.

Now my door has swollen from the rain
god knows we’ll never see her face again
people get shattered in many ways
they can disappoint you
when you see through
their perfect smile.
