lyrics

So she broke your heart
Sent you off to bed
dead flowers on your floor
You went to her
broken strings in hand
And she just closed that door
What do you see in her smoke rimmed eyes
that I cannot see that I cannot believe
Why do you say she means nothing to me
When I can hear her in your sighs?

I'm never the girl in the songs you sing
though you stare at me all night long
Never the woman behind your dreams
I can never be all that you want

I'm always the one behind the curtains
Thought I'd like the darkness by now
But I've seen the light
And it spoiled me so
I can't stay away from your alchemy
I've seen the light and it spoiled me so
I can't stay away from your alchemy

I'm never the girl in the songs you sing
though you stare at me all night long
Never the woman behind your dreams
I can never be all that you want

So you broke my heart
Sent me off to bed
A kiss left at the door
I went to my room and shut myself inside
And curled up on the floor
What did I see in your wide vacant eyes
I didn't want to see I didn't want to believe
Why do I say you mean nothing to me
When I know that is a lie?

I'm never the girl in the songs you sing
though you stare at me all night long
Never the woman behind your dreams
I can never be all that you want
