I spent years becoming cool and in one single second
You can make a decade of my efforts disappear
I'm just waiting at the bar and you rip open all my scars

I'll be a wind chime in the window, catching light to throw around
And I will tear apart your bedroom, I'll call you in the night
I will exist in every second just to decorate your life
And when you're done, you can discard me like the others always do
And I will nurse my wounds until another artist stains me new
And I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in view
For anybody that decides that I'm of use
Lonely is the muse, ah-ah
Lonely is the muse, ah-ah
Lonely is the muse
Lonely and forgotten is the
