Plastic Smiles

(mmm-hmm) You smiled so bright when the sun was high

Keeping perfect time, keeping up the lie

But the moment that the shadows started to grow

You were already putting on your coat

And now I see right through the glass (right through) How long

did you think it would last?

Oh, you're a fair-weather spark in a cold,

dark room

Only showing up when the flowers bloom

Yeah, you love the gold but you hate the dust

Turns out your promises are made of rust (made of rust)

I counted up the favors that you owed

While I was carrying your heavy load

But when my well dried up to the clay

You washed right out,

you drifted away (drifted away)

Oh, you're a fair-weather spark in a cold,

dark room

Only showing up when the flowers bloom

Yeah, you love the gold but you hate the dust

Turns out your promises are made of rust

(made of rust)

No more answering when you call

I’m stepping back,

I’m letting it fall

No more holding onto a ghost

Made of rust...

Just a spark... (mmm-hmm)
