CYour neither Gbeauty nor grace
CThe world Grevolves around the ones you hate,
CWhy do you Gtry so hard to be things you'Emre not.
CAnd I would Grather be alone
CThan in a Glonely crowd
CWould you Gnotice if I Emever left it Fthere.
[Chorus]
On your Gown
That's where Emtime goes
Leave me Gdown
I would Emrather be Caround
The ones whDo care
The ones who
[Verse 2]
CIf there's a Gchance you'll change your mind
CIf there's a Gpath you must take
CI'd do it Gnow before it aEmll becomes too Flate
[Chorus]
On your Gown
That's where Emtime goes
Leave me Gdown
I would Emrather be Caround
The ones whDo care
The ones who

FOf all the choices you have Gmade
It picks apart to leave a Ftrace of Gthis
And, FI've never seen such bitter Gsweet
Through all the signals that you Fleave in Gtime
[Chorus]
On your Gown
That's where Emtime goes
Leave me Gdown
I would Emrather be Caround
The ones whDo care
