lyrics

Milo, you believe in a radiant acceptance only the beautiful know / And while they play in celluloid glow / The rest of us must settle for shadows

In the cinema you sit two rows behind a girl with Stanwyck’s smile and Karina’s eyes / You’ve got nowhere else to be / the film is ending / She’s going to leave / But you won’t say a thing

Milo, you’ve nothing left to lose / When you know you don’t belong / And failing feels like flying / when your love is all your own / Your love is your own

Milo, you might not say all that much / But you deserve to be held and ought to be touched / If only you could leap / Into the screen / Force that girl to see / The kind of man you could be

But you project your tragedies / on to everyone you meet / Admit surrender / long before defeat / I can’t prove it’s worth the pain / to fall again and again / a blink of truth over a life of regret

Milo, what you so afraid of / What you so afraid of
Milo what you gonna do / you gonna run and hide again
Milo what you gonna do / when you find that your orphaned heart is dead
