What have they done to you, my love
It seems your trip has cut you to the bone
My mind's been brewin' poison
Now I'm not who I once was
Won't you hold me close and help me home
We all hide more inside than we admit
I've longed to ask if you'd give your heart to me
I'd give you mine, but you're the last one on my list
And no one gives their love for free
You ain't where my thoughts belong
Or am I seeing it all wrong
We rode across the bridge up to the hills
Crystal rivers, castle clouds on high
Yellow light poured down like honey
When you're young, life's barely real
And then I turned a corner blind
Who has time to read the signs
And since my innocence is gone
I know I'm seeing it all wrong
And I can't tell if I'm gonna spare you
Or if I'll show you out the door
They're telling me to jump, but I don't care to
'Cause I'll fall faster than before
So midnight came and I was drained
I had visions of my lover on the coast
I let him in my eyes
And for a time, I felt no pain
Until the sounds outside shattered his ghost
Would he mind if I just one day slipped away
Though I know he'd still try to send me notes
Maybe in the next life, I'll be strong
Or am I seeing this all wrong
