I've given up my last hope of resistance
waved goodbye to all my innocence
looking in the mirror behind the door
and I can't see my reflection anymore

My mind burns,
when will I change, when will I ever learn,
I was brought here on a chain of diminishing returns
You said you loved me
that's the thing, I never could have earned
So I lost you to a chain of diminishing returns...

...love is a chain of diminishing returns...

The first one was the best, but went too fast
You keep your options open your love wont last
The picture lost distinction along the way...yeah
Now all there's left to look at is a hollow frame

And now my mind burns, when will I change
when will I ever learn, I was brought here
on a chain of diminishing returns
you said you loved me
thats's the thing that I could never earn
so I lost you to a chain of diminishing returns....

I'm on a chain, I'm on a chain, I'm on a chain of diminishing returns
I'm on a chain, I'm on a chain, I'm on a chain of diminishing returns
