Shiny Boys

Our friends they think we want this
Think we're golden
But they don't know
Faded pictures, ghostly figures
Couldn't fix him

Gilded madness, pretty package
Dressed in plastic
And no one knows
All the baggage, can't unpack it
Got me askin'

Manhattan, what happened?
Were you lost and mesmerized?
You gilded your madness
And you dipped your love in lies
Cause you knew that

I fall for shiny things
Like boys who go to Ivy Leagues
And tell me that they love me
When they don't know what that means

And I fall for shiny things
Like guys with opportunities
Who tell me they'll take care of me
As long as I sit pretty

Count the tiles on your ceiling
Lie awake while you're still sleeping
You don't know my heart's not beating
Barely breathing

Manhattan, what happened?
Did you lose your silver line?
My old friends, I told them
There were flaws in our design
Oh, Manhattan, what happened?
Did you fill my head with lies?
Cause I always thought you'd change in the nick of time
But you knew that

I fall for shiny things
Like boys who go to Ivy Leagues
And tell me that they love me
When they don't know what that means

And I fall for shiny things
Like guys with opportunities
Who tell me they'll take care of me
As long as I sit pretty

And I fall for golden boys
Who treat me like their golden toy
I tried to hold it down for you
But all you do is play

And I fall for shiny boys
Who treat me like their shiny toy
But never learn to fix things
And just throw me away
