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
