As you leave, please tiptoe Down the backstairs of my life Backstairs of my life Everything is all you ever Meant and said to me Meant and said to me Could you live with all the hurt And the pain and tears again? Yesterday should be a song For the year's refrain Vacant vessel me I've given all, I've been out poured Well, I've been poured out As you leave, please tiptoe Down the backstairs of my life The backstairs of my life When you leave You're taking all of my dreams Outside my door Twisted heart is crying more Oh, more, encore In the darkness now All I can see is where we've been Where have we been? As you leave, please tiptoe Down the backstairs of my life Backstairs of my life As you leave, please tiptoe Down the backstairs of my life Backstairs of my life As you leave, please tiptoe Down the backstairs of my life Well, down the backstairs of my life Yeah As you leave, please tiptoe Down the backstairs of my life Yeah, yeah Down the backstairs of my life
