~ lyrics ~
Make me sick with fear and hope and longing
Echo down the hall your voice still calling
Comes around tonight and he acts all charm and grace
Takes you by the hands and he takes you by the face
You ain’t going nowhere now he’s put you in your place
Don’t you know you will never say no
Waiting for his heart to reawaken
Better to be broken than forsaken
So you put up with the things that no one should defend
Kiss the hand that struck you oh it’s you who makes amends
Turn off all the lights and try your hardest to pretend
Don’t you know he will take you this low
Once it’s done he’ll turn and run for cover
Never looking back over his shoulder
You will never listen honey you will never learn
So you keep on wandering further past the point of no return
One day you’ll be stranded with no bridges left to burn
Don’t you know you can never let go
