lyrics

You should see the looks on their faces
When I show them I'm not real
When I tell them how these bones were made
In some artist's studio

When I tell them how my heart was found
At the bottom of the sea
They took all my broken pieces out
And started rebuilding me

So maybe you can see me for what I am
Just another robot with no plans
And I'm sorry if you took this the wrong way
But I can never stay

You should see the looks on their faces
When I show them I how breathe
When I tell them how these lungs were made
In some lonely factory

When I tell them how they turned me on
Waited for the sparks to fly
And I think I felt a rush of blood
As I was opening my eyes

So maybe you can see me for what I am
Just another robot with no plans
And I'm sorry if you took this the wrong way
But I can never stay

Cause I can't risk being torn apart again
It happened once it was too hard
So I'm sorry if you took this the wrong way
But I can never stay

We are all, are tiny little flowers
Floating in all the lovely winds
And we are all, are gonna disappear soon
So let's all enjoy it while we can

repeat

You can see me for what I am
Just another robot with no plans
And I'm sorry if you took this the wrong way
But I can never stay

Cause I can't risk being torn apart again
It happened once it was too hard
So I'm sorry if you took this the wrong way
But I can never stay

No I can never, never stay
You know I can never, never stay
