Lyrics:

How, in every visible way, you shine As if the stars in your wake align Almost impossible to malign But just below where you shine, you burn Although I know it, I never learn Just goes to show that I can't discern CHORUS: Aluminum to me Aluminium to some You can shine like silver all you want But you're just Aluminum Illuminating just what you want to show You'd never rust, but I'd never know You can't be trusted, I can't let go CHORUS Every time you're here, I forget When you leave, you leave only regret Every time you're here, I forget Everything You're so lightweight, how can you survive? Recycling moments from others' lives You're not as precious as you contrive CHORUS Yeah, you're just Aluminum
