Lyrics Everclear – A Shameless Use Of Charm
Text:
He was rolling in the rumor that he was the loser king for a day
She was kinda cross-eyed
She was damaged in a beautiful way
He was addicted to her body
She was good at all the simple things
She was addicted to the subtle way he’d rip her apart
It was a shameless use of charm
She was delighted with the promise of a life of being bored and annoyed
He was happy with the pictures that he painted with distortion and noise
He was a sex-addicted user with a certain kind of flair
He did really not care that she was dumb and unaware
She was strong when they were naked and alone in the dark
It was a shameless use of charm
Everybody says they’re looking for the fairy tale
No, they are just looking for a way to fall
Everybody says they are looking for the true love lost
True love lost
He was big, bigger than the life she knew
Back when she was good with being slow and confused
She was clean
The best thing he had ever seen
She looked just like those girls he saw in Playboy magazine
They were lost
They were looking for the easy dream
Living high on borrowed time and running low on self-esteem
They were lost
They were helpless to the rush
It felt just like a white drug
Everybody says they’re looking for the fairy tale
Everybody says they’re looking for the happy ending
No, they are just looking for a way to fall soft
Just like anyone, they are just like everyone
They were looking for the easy way to have it all
Everybody says that they are looking for the true love lost
True love lost
True love lost
True love lost
