Through the window of her mind I see a picture

It's not finished she's still painting it for me

Angry reds and violent blues tear that picture right in two

A tattered canvas that we're both afraid to be, to see



I feel like I'm a stranger in this town

Cause even when I'm here I'm not around

To see what I have built come crashing down

Before my eyes, this time

I'm pouring out my heart to empty seats

I tie myself in knots to make ends meet

I wanna see forever but I've got too far to go

I know she's letting go



She says she "don't know what's right" and I believe her

But you never know the truth 'til it goes wrong

Good intentions, bad results

It seems like everything's my fault

Just like the moonlight when it's scattered by the dawn, I'm gone



I feel like I'm a stranger in this town

Cause even when I'm here I'm not around

To see what I have built come crashing down

Before my eyes, this time

I'm pouring out my heart to empty seats

I tie myself in knots to make ends meet

I wanna see forever but I've got too far to go

I know she's letting go



She don't care cause she don't stare at me the same

And her smile it comes too slow

I'm aware of all the things I have to learn, and how much she already knows



I feel like I'm a stranger in this town

Cause even when I'm here I'm not around

To see what I have built come crashing down

Before my eyes, this time

I'm pouring out my heart to empty seats

I tie myself in knots to make ends meet

I wanna see forever but I've got too far to go

I know she's letting go
