I love what you did for me, it was so 20th century
You sang in the famous band, your name ended up on my head
It's such a long time ago, when we said our first hello
But nothing was making sense, I just wanted it all to end
Fake love can't live forever, it fades away and starts to bleed
Dead love won't be remembered, it doesn't give me what I need
All that's left is a cover-up, I never thought that I was enough for you
Was it true?
Was it true?
Was it true?

When the needle went to hit the flesh
I could feel the pain less and less from all of you
I got my cover-up
Now I have replaced your name
So your memory will fade away
This butterfly set me free
Now you don't exist for me
It was such a long time ago
When we said our first hello
I thought you were all I had
But your love is not a friend
Fake love can't live forever
It cuts away and fades to black
Dead love won't be remembered
It kills your heart, it starts to bleed
All that's left is a cover-up
All that's left is a cover-up
All that's left is a cover-up
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Lodged it, had it, won it, lost it
Brought it, cut it, been there, done it
Made it, played it, I'm not going back
All that's lost is a cup of rum
I never thought that I was enough for you
Was it true?
When the needle went to hit the flesh
I could feel the pain less and less
Come on, I got my cup of rum
