The city slips away too soon 

Tonight she's wide awake 

Making small talk with Mr. Moon 

Singing louder than the rain 

On nights like these she can be herself 

She forgets I'm there but it's just as well 

I always feel like I'm by myself 

And she never will, oh never will 



She says she hates the fact that men can see 

She wants to tear the eyes 

out of everything 



What makes her feel the way she feels 

Like everything is nothing 

What makes her see the things she sees 

Like everything that's wrong with me 

I guess I should stop trying to figure her out 

I should know by now that I'm not allowed 

Now I know this is not allowed 

If I want to keep her coming 'round 



She says she hates the fact that men can see 

She wants to tear the eyes 

out of every living thing 

Oh God! I grin 

Does that include me...Does that include... 



She hides her reflection with pictures from magazines 

She gets so angry when I don't see what she sees 

But if I'm supposed to sit and watch her tear herself apart 

Then maybe I was wrong she never really knew me at all... 



Hello, hello, did you find your self-esteem 

Should I suppose that he's giving you what you need 

And so it goes and slowly I begin to breathe 

Hello, hello, I'm so sorry it wasn't me... 

I'm so sorry it wasn't me 



The city slips away too soon 

Tonight she's wide awake 

Making small talk with Mr. Moon 

He listens to everything she says 

And he doesn't try to understand 

Never expects to be let in 

He just hangs on every word 

That comes from the mouth of this little girl
