And the power you have over

won't ever let me be.

It's always holding me to you.

And the strange things you say to me,

Why do you play with me?

It's just too sad to see.



Stop right there.

Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there.

Tell me what you're doing. Am I blind?

Long ago, everything about you was for me to hold.

Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold.



And in time I might slip away

into the light of day.

But with you I must stay, it's true.

Wishful thinking will just bring me down.

It's plain to see you own

the ground I'm standing on..



chorus



verse 2
