A Shameless Use Of Charm

Yeah, he was rolling in the rumor
That he was the loser king for a day, yeah, yeah
Ah, she was kinda cross-eyed
She was damaged in a beautiful way, yeah, yeah

He was addicted to her body
When she opened up her legs and her heart
She was good at all the simple things
She was addicted to the subtle way he'd rip her apart

It was a shameless use of charm

She was delighted with the promise of a life
Of being bored and annoyed
He was happy with the pictures
That he painted with distortion and noise

He was a sex-addicted user with a certain kind of flair
He did really not care that she was dumb and unaware
She was strong when they were naked and alone in the dark

It was a shameless use of charm

Everybody says, they're looking for the fairy tale
No, they are just looking for a way to fall
Everybody says, they are looking for the true love lost
True love lost

He was big, bigger than the life she knew
Back when she was good with being slow and confused
She was clean, the best thing that he'd ever seen
She looked just like those girls he saw in playboy magazine

They were lost, they were looking for the easy dream
Living high on borrowed time, running low on self-esteem
They were down and were helpless to the rush
It felt just like a white drug

Everybody says, they're looking for the fairy tale
No, they are just looking for a way to fall
Everybody says, they're looking for the happy ending
No, they are just looking for a way to fall soft

Just like anyone, they are just like everyone
They were looking for the easy way to have it all

Everybody says that they are looking for the true love lost
True love lost
True love lost
True love lost
