walk down that hall, take me to that
room, shut the door / and close the
lights too
turn on the radio, take off that tv, sit
me down / and speak real softly
i'll pay my attentions to things you
don't say / i'll turn them this way and
i'll turn them the other way
and i'm asking you is this how you
want me / to be anything you want me
to be / and i'm asking you is this
how you see me / some little girl
kissing your cheek
as the sun begins to rise, it cuts
through the glass / and it burns my
flesh with every lash / i look at
myself as others see myself / and i
don't understand how this is myself /
walk down that hall, take to that
room, shut the door / and close those
lights too
i'm walking down the stairs to leave /
and out of the dark her eyes catch me ?
you're looking at me like you expect to
see / something there that i can't be /
and i'm asking you to let me walk away
this time / 'cause i can't be her anymore |
