Words
Lyrics
Just leave them lying on the floor
The warning posted on the door
Not over here not anymore
There was a place that could have been
Step over all that used to be
Since you've invited yourself in
Some things I'd rather you not see
See I keep lying to myself
Don't know what else there is to do
If I could be somebody else
Well, I think I would for you
Didn't seem like something more?
So long I can't remember when
And this has happened all before
And this will happen all again
And I only have myself to blame
And I only have myself to blame
See I keep lying to myself
Don't know what else there is to do
If I could be somebody else
Well, I think I would for you
Since you have let yourself come in
