Neon parking sign, blinking on an autumn night
Above a man in the fight of his life
Boxing her ghosts on an abandoned city street
Fighting my heart, the heart that beats
You want me to, you need me to
Imitate her love
No I can’t imitate her love
I can feel you sculpting me to be somebody else
But I can’t imitate her love
I’m his mockingbird, tracing this love with words
Going through her motions, through her lines
Grasping onto memories, molding them into new dreams
Nostalgic for a life he’ll never lead
He wants me to, he needs me to
Imitate her love
No I can’t imitate her love
I can feel him sculpting me to be somebody else
But I can’t imitate her love
No I won’t imitate her love
No I won’t imitate her love
I can feel him sculpting me to be somebody else
But I won’t imitate her love
