The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics

Rock

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

And, I just can't look it's killing me
I'm taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest

Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go

'Cause I just can't look it's killing me
I'm taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
I never
I never
I never
I never

    To me this song is a story about a guy who loves this girl and is watching her with her boyfriend. He wants to look away, but he can't make himself leave...... He's jealous, but he can't make himself go talk to her, or even get near her.

    to me since im a girl.. i think about me liking this boy then once i tell someone i like him that person turns around and asks him out knowing i liked him. ...ugh i feel so bad :( this is true by the way! i dont know if it would be called heartbroken because he couldnt break my heart if we werent even going out....i dk. but this song reminds me so much of wht happened!
