Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me, yeah

Well I feel the pleasure, feel the pain, feel the pain

You set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me, yeah

In moderation, what was once us now never was
