It is uncanny
How you can see right inside of me
One word left hanging
Tells you all you need to know for free
And what you see is not always good and not always kind
I never said I'd be everything you hoped you would find
You make me tell you
In words the things you already know
How my heart wanders
Away from light towards dark shadows
And what you see is not always good and not always kind
I never said I'd be everything you hoped you would find
But you save me from myself
I hate to make you be so stern
But I'm a walking disaster
Oh you save me from myself
I hear you slipping out the door
As I lie crying on the floor
And hoping you'll be home once more
Don't make me spell it out
I hate that flames like this one still burn
Help me to put it out
Before the point hits of no return
Oh what you see is not always good and not always kind
I never said I'd be everything you hoped you would find
But you save me from myself
I hate to make you be so stern
But I'm a walking disaster
Oh you save me from myself
I hear you slipping out the door
As I lie crying on the floor
And hoping you'll be home once more
