Album Version

And you walked out when I ask you to stay As usual you will get your way You closed the door and stumbled down to the street Where you wring your hands And drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie they adore you I'll be the one to tell you Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars They know everything they know where you are You're in your head you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie they adore you I'll be the one to tell you Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes All you want to see is make believe It's nothing But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie they adore you I'll be the one to tell you Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes
