Shallow from Mercy's Victim by Eric Tyler

I saw cathedrals burning down
On the afternoon news
800 years of standing strong
Reduced to ash and messages on telephones to me and you

But that's life, I guess
Nothing beautiful can last
While we go our separate ways
Why don't we take off these terrifying masks

When I know you feel the same way too
I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
You're so shallow.

Can you smile for me one last time?
Can you laugh at me for a while?
When I know you feel the same way too,
Shallow.

I never saw you so weak
Fading away without "goodbye"
You'd think that after 12 long years
You'd have the courtesy to look me in the eyes

But, that's life, I guess
It's a shame the way this had to go
Not even realizing the end of it
Until I asked you so that both of us would know.

When I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too
You're so shallow.

Can you smile for me one last time?
Can you laugh with me for a while?
Yeah, I know you feel the same way too,
Shallow.
