The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all And the sky was never blue The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you I know you won't believe these thing I tell you I know you won't believe Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you And your mind cannot conceive Now all depends on what I say to you And on your doubting me So I've prepared these statements far from true Pay heed and disbelieve The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all The sky was never blue Stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you And the sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all The sky was never blue The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you I never cared for you I never cared for you
