Magazine - Burst lyrics

Once you had this promise

on the tip of your tongue

but it went without saying

it went on too long

all the straws you clutched at

have burst into flames

and so you smile that way

tantalisingly lame

The smart ones understand

how your heart bursts

like a bottle of champagne

your just desserts

the smart ones understand

you shouldn't settle for less

you're gonna forget yourself

in my happiness

Keep your silence to yourself (in my happiness)

you will forget yourself (in my happiness)
