Song Lyrics

Is it so hard to let go of the past
Why can't I touch him and know it will last
He makes the walls spin
when he walks in the room
Twisting the myth of the love he designed
Catch me I'm falling too fast

Holding it in, can't let it out
Whispers I hear in the dark
You're the friend in the daylight
A comrade to count on
But what you don't see
Are the tears in my sleep
When I wake from my dreaming of you
Don't look too close
I just can't let it out

This is the magic he hides behind that smile
The power that leaves a broken trail
Ah this sweet mystery is pleasure
It's pleasure and pain
I'll send him the key to the secrets in my soul
With any luck they'll lose it in the mail

I'm holding it in, can't let it out
Whispers I hear in the dark
You're the friend in the daylight
A comrade to count on
But what you don't see
Are the tears in my sleep
When I wake from my dreaming of you
Don't look too close
I just can't let it out

He appears at my door
The rain on his face
Says he can't fight the truth anymore
His kiss on my hand
I knock over the clock
And then it's morning again

Holding it in, can't let it out
Whispers I hear in the dark
You're the friend in the daylight
A comrade to count on
But what you don't see
Are the tears in my sleep
When I wake from my dreaming of you
Don't look too close
I just can't let it out
