A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one...
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room...
And there's no time left for losing
When you stand they fall...
I'll become what you became to me
------------------
"I'm here for you" she said
and we can stay for awhile,
my boyfriends gone,
we can just pretend.
Lips that need no introduction,
Now who's the greater sin?
Your drab eyes seem to invite
(tell me darling) where do we begin?
------------------
So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees...
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
------------------
You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight
tie me up again
------------------
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
------------------
I treated you bad, you bruised my face
Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste...
Could have been easier on you,
I couldn't change though I wanted to.
Should have been easier by three,
Our old friend fear, and you and me
------------------
As I'm waiting for those eyes
To say what's on your mind
I finally think I've found
the words to say...
If I could just get your attention
I'd never let it go
Until you've felt what I am gonna say
------------------
The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
They're still looking for life
And I'm hanging on, to the words you say
------------------
And yet these words mean nothing
