Missy Higgins - The Sound Of White (2004) - Casualty lyrics

  • Give me my dream and give me a scene
    Where you have a past of which you are clean.
    Oh, give me a lie.
    Tell me you fell 'cos of my grace and not to help you erase her face.
    And oh, make it your best lie.
    'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands and if it does
    Fall, if you do fall, it's my fault

    So I don't wanna be with one more casualty
    'Cos all you're gonna give me is pain
    And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
    'Cos all you see's a human bandage

    Tell me I'd find you're happy inside and if I end this you'll be fine,
    Oh, tell me a lie.

    Just look at me and say honestly that I'm all you want, not what you need.
    And oh, make it your best lie, love,
    'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands
    And if it does fall, if it does fall it's my fault.

    So I don't wanna be with one more casualty,
    'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
    And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
    'Cos all you see's a human bandage

    And I've been playing games
    And now I've change my ways
    The character I always played
    Helped me to forget my name
    But now I know,
    So get out of my way!

    'Cos I'm not gonna be one more casualty
    It's been too long since I looked after me ...
    I'm not gonna be with one more casualty,
    'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
    And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
    'Cos all you see's a human bandage
    I'm not gonna be with one more casualty,
    'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
    And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
    'Cos all you seem to give me is your pain
    I'm not gonna be, no ...
