Oh leave the curtains drawn
And don’t bother staying on
Let me pretend that I’m not myself
For a little while, see
Then I’m back on my feet
In the same old skin I know so well
Oh leave me in my little tune
I promise I’ll be back soon
Oh it’s hard to get by
When you’re afraid to cry
So you close your lips and cast your eyes down
You’ve got so much to tell
And so much to yell
So why do you whisper still
Will you tell me if you get bored
And you don’t feel like staying anymore
Oh and everytime you’re here
No I don’t want you near,
But I can’t take it when you’re gone
So leave me for a while
But leave me with a smile
So that I know you’ll be back for more
Oh please be patient with me
This is not how I wanted to be
Oh I’ll always be there
To show you that I care
But I’m just not very good with words
So I hope you’ll understand
That a squeeze of my hand
Means that I’m all yours
Oh please be patient with me
This is not how I wanted to be
And will you tell me if you get bored
And you don’t feel like staying anymore
