Tonight she's wide awake
Making small talk with Mr. Moon
Singing louder than the rain
On nights like these she can be herself
Forgets I'm there, it's just as well
I always feel like I'm by myself
And she never will, oh, never will
She says she hates the fact
That men can see
She wants to tear out the eyes
Out of everything
What makes her feel the way she feels
Like everything is nothing real?
What makes her see the things she sees
Like everything that's wrong with me?
I guess I should stop trying to figure her out
Should know by now that I'm not allowed
Now I know this is not allowed
If I want to keep her coming 'round
She says she hates the fact
That men can see
She wants to tear out the eyes
Out of everything
Oh God, I grin
Does that include me?
Does that include
She hides her reflection
With pictures from magazines
She gets so angry
When I don't see what she sees
But if I'm supposed to sit and watch her
Tear herself apart
Then maybe I was wrong
She never really knew me at all
Hello, hello
Did you find your self-esteem?
Should I suppose
That he's giving you what you needed?
And so it goes
And slowly I begin to breath
Hello, hello, hello
I'm so sorry, wasn't me
And I'm so sorry, wasn't me
The city slips away too soon
Tonight she's wide awake
Making small talk with Mr. Moon
He listens to everything she says
And he doesn't try to understand
He never expects to be let in
He just hangs on every word
That comes from the mouth of this little girl
The city slips away too soon Tonight she's wide awake Making small talk with Mr. Moon Singing louder than the rain On nights like these she can be herself Forgets I'm there, it's just as well I always feel like I'm by myself And she never will, oh, never will She says she hates the fact That men can see She wants to tear out the eyes Out of everything What makes her feel the way she feels Like everything is nothing real? What makes her see the things she sees Like everything that's wrong with me? I guess I should stop trying to figure her out Should know by now that I'm not allowed Now I know this is not allowed If I want to keep her coming 'round She says she hates the fact That men can see She wants to tear out the eyes Out of everything Oh God, I grin Does that include me? Does that include She hides her reflection With pictures from magazines She gets so angry When I don't see what she sees But if I'm supposed to sit and watch her Tear herself apart Then maybe I was wrong She never really knew me at all Hello, hello Did you find your self-esteem?
