You hold this place inside my head 

You're a symphony of hurt

The daylight passes through me to another crippled verse

Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends

Right back where we started pain dead flowers on the bed



Anna Lee don't you cry for me

You're not as strong as you wanna be

In the dark we all see what we know

It's the space that scares us so



You lead me through your garden where only dead things dare to grow

You convince me I deserve the thorn you've tried so hard to show

Normalness escapes me to the point of no return

The memories around this place keep us from movin' on



Anna Lee don't you cry for me

You're not as strong as you wanna be

In the dark we all see what we know

Its the space that scares us so 



The endless balmy air we breathe

This city's startin' to get to me tonight

I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here

I find no comfort in the pain I always cause

All night, all night



She might wait around for me

Come along with a promise and a dream



Anna Lee don't you cry for me

You're not as strong as you wanna be

In the dark we all see what we know

Its the space that scares us so



Anna Lee don't you cry for me

You're not as strong as you wanna be

'Cause I know what I'll be doing to you

Let me let you know

I know what you've been waitin' for

Let me let you go
