"All that I'm not is now all that you want me for All that I am is what drives you away But all that I am could be chalked on the sidewalk So why not just love me this way?" These were her words to the dark of the TV As she wonders where the night has gone She left it with you and believed you would share it Alone now she waits for the dawn "Don't look away Please Tell me what you want to see instead Please My heart is a thorn to my head Please Don't look away" Heroes and villains can get on for hours Till they become men and just do what they're told And a woman's a girl till she chooses to trust you And she hasn't a friend in the world "Don't look away Please Tell me what you want to see instead Please My heart is a thorn to my head Please Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away" Silhouette surfing the wave of the future She'll disappear when the light is gone You are the wave from which she won't recover And love is a dream with a pillow you smothered And justified all of her fear of the other And as she is gasping for air underwater She admits now the lie too painful to uncover You did nothing so you did nothing wrong Still why does she say why does she cry Why does she pray to the TV tonight "Don't look away Please Tell me what you want to see instead Please My heart is a thorn to my head Please Don't look away Don't look away"
