This  is the moment  that you know
 That you told  her that you loved  her but you don't.
 You touch her skin  and then you think
 That she is beautiful  but she don't  mean a thing to me.
 Yeah, she is  beautiful but she  don't mean a thing to  me.
I  spent two weeks  in Silverlake
 The California  sun cascading down my face
 There was a girl  with light brown streaks
 And she was beautiful  but she didn't  mean a thing to me.
 Yeah she was beautiful  but she didn't  mean a thing to  me.
 I wanted  to believe  in all the words  that i was speaking
 As we moved  together in  the dark
 And all the friends  that i was telling
 And all the playful  misspellings
 And every bite  i gave you left  a mark
Tiny  vessels oozed  into your neck
 And formed the bruises
 That you said  you didn't want  to fade
 But they did  and so did i  that day
 All i see  are dark grey clouds
 In the distance  moving closer  with every hour
 So when you ask  "was something wrong?"
 That i think "you're damn right  there is,
 but we can't  talk about it now.
 No, we can't  talk about it now."
 So one  last touch  and then you'll go
 And we'll pretend  that it meant something  so much more
 But it was vile,  and it was cheap
 And you are beautiful  but you don't  mean a thing to me
 Yeah you are  beautiful but you  don't mean a thing to  me
