While you're searching for a sign
Put up your defense
So you can keep on
Staring at the sky
Putting faith in someone
Who could never make it right
With diamonds in her eyes
A fire in her heart and in her mind
A shine like city lights
But she falls behind a curtain
When she falls apart at night and she says
Head down and my eyes closed
Somewhere between "don't go"
And "please leave me alone"
I'll let you in
But I would have let you in
Head down and my eyes closed
Somewhere between "don't go"
And "please leave me alone"
I would have let you in
To turn around and wait for him
To come back home
Now you're running out of time
You feel the ending
Like it's impending
Thinking all the time
"If I was someone different
Would you answer me?"
The first to make her cry
And the very last one
To come back home at night
Deception's on his mind
He couldn't tell her that he loved her
Without crossing both his fingers behind
(He couldn't look you in the eye)
Head down and my eyes closed
Somewhere between "don't go"
And "please leave me alone"
I'll let you in
But I would have let you in
Head down and my eyes closed
Somewhere between "don't go"
And "please leave me alone"
I would have let you in
To turn around and wait for him
To come back home
And as for me
I'd never let you leave like this:
Thrown away and left out
I'm just a bystander in your story
And I'm sorry that you're feeling so let down
I got a fist formed in my hand
As your biggest fan
But it's not my place
So I turn and say "I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry that you're feeling so let down"
(I'm picking up the pieces you set down
And that's all right now)
Head down and my eyes closed
Don't go
Don't leave me alone
I'll let you in
But I would have let you in
I'll let you in
I'll let you in
I'll let you in
I'll let you in
I'll let you in
Head down and my eyes closed
Somewhere between "don't go"
And "please leave me alone"
I'll let you in
Would have let you in
Would have let you in
To turn around and wait for him
To come back home
