She wore out the feeling

With a tender killing

She paid for the blackout

I saw it rolling in.



Was I, was I

Watching over you, or just

Watching you fall apart.



Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?

Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes

Or keep you from the cold?



She came with a warning

She left with the morning

An eye on the doorway

A scar in the early light.



Was I, was I

Hanging on a word

Or was I just a messenger.



Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?

Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes

Or keep you from the cold?



And in the look upon your face

There was an element of grace

Did I read between the lines?



Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?

Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes

Or keep you from the cold?



Did I, did I?

Did I, did I?

Did I, did I?



Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?
