I've been contemplating 
Suicide 
But it really doesn't suit my style 
So I think I'll just act bored instead 
To contain the blood I could have shed 
She makes me feel so weary 
My heart is really on its knees 
But I keep a poker face so well 
That even my mother couldn't tell 
That my baby's so vain 
She is almost a mirror 
And the sound of her name 
Send a permanent shiver 
Down my spine 
Down my spine 
Well I keep her photograph against my heart 
Cause in my life she plays 
A starring part 
Our love could hold on cigarettes 
There is no room for these cheap regrets 
She makes me feel so weary 
My heart is really on its knees 
But I keep a poker face so well 
That even my mother couldn't tell 
That my baby's so vain 
She is almost a mirror 
And the sound of her name 
Send a permanent shiver 
Down my spine 
Down my spine 
Sends a permanent shiver down my spine
