Lyrics The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

A Teenager in Love

Now you go unseen, perfect you'll stay hidden

And I can dream of things you'll never see

Alli, please, if you are braver than the rest

There's little left who could dispute your claim

And when you'd finally gone

He tells me you were dead all along

He was wrong, he hadn't lived a day

The way you lived your final days, a teenager in love with Christ and heroin

Now you feel ashamed but he feels nothing of the kind

He talks of things he wouldn't mind to try sometime

But you've got little left to give

His touch is not a thing you'll ever miss

And when you'd finally gone

He tells me you were dead all along

He was wrong, he hadn't lived a day

The way you lived your final days, a teenager in love with Christ and heroin

A teenager in love with Christ and heroin

And if you made a stand

I would stand with you 'til the end

But you don't need a friend when you're a

Teenager in love with Christ and heroin

A teenager in love with Christ and heroin
