Verse 1:
(Pattern 1)
I don’t know you, but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me, and always fool me
And I can’t react

(Pattern 2)
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Verse 2:
(Pattern 1)
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
And moods that take me, and erase me
And I’m painted black

Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
