Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back a name In your recollection down among a million same Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed and passed over when I've looked right through to see you naked but oblivious and you don't see me But I threw you the obvious just to see If there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel eyes of a tragedy Here I am expecting just a little bit too much From the wounded but I see through it all and see you 'Cause I threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy oh well, oh well apparently nothing apparently nothing at all You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't see me You don't see me at all
