Consolation Prize

I'm gonna say that I am all for
Whatever you say that you offer
I think you know that I am awful
Like that

And if you tell me that you like that
I will say I always was like that
I think you know that I would like that
Like this

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT ME
WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME WHATS BEHIND YOUR EYES
WHY DON'T YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME
WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE I'M A COMPROMISE

And if I see you at a gallery
When I see ya at that show
I say hello all kinds of casually
Like I was always gonna go

It only takes a little effort
It only takes a little time
A little madness in a method
That I'm gonna change your mind

TELL ME THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT ME
THAT YOU SEE ME WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME
AND THAT I'M NOT A CONSOLATION PRIZE

Didn't I make you feel good
Didn't I, didn't I make you feel good
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I

TELL ME THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT ME
AND THAT YOU SEE ME WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
WHY DON'T YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME
AND THAT I'M NOT A CONSOLATION PRIZE

TELL ME THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT ME
DO YOU SEE ME WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
GO ON AND SAY THAT YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME
AND THAT IM NOT A CONSOLATION PRIZE
