Lyrics

it's dawning on me, i see it now, the world you came into, not what i thought i found, and, i see it clearly, you came to me, with the clearest eyes, a voice that i could not believe, you said it slowly, you said it true, you asked me why she was there in the light with you, and she can't do that, it's not her place, you echoed back to me what you had learnt to say, i could find it, plain to see, why would i expect that it could ever be, and, did i fail you and did i fall, i hoped that we could find a place where we were all alone and, i could explain it, it's not like that, you know your mother, all that was asked, and now you're with me, my only son, my only daughter, the only ones, i read you stories late at night, of what he did and how he conquered all the light, he was so smart, and he was strong, he had all the answers, and he was never wrong, he was the enemy, he was the star, and, he was a friend, and he was in charge, and, he was the good looking, the head of the pack, and where was she?, she was nowhere, she was lost, she was hiding, she was not, she was pretty, she was the prize, she was the glory, she was inside, and she was beauty, she was a child, and she wore dresses, her eyes were wide, her hair was glory, the trains were long, and she was always, on the outside looking in, on the outside looking in, on the outside looking in, couldn't be back where i came, couldn't be lost in the rain, couldn't be wearing that again, couldn't be where you should have been safe, couldn't be walking back through parks and dark and late and all alone, couldn't be where i was, can you just call me when you're safe and home and, don't you go there, don't you wait at night, don't you trust and don't you wait, and don't you be alone when you're driving, and, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know that, the world was not made for the girls but for the boys, and, i know it's wrong, though know it's not right, your eyes can tell a thousand lies that i just cannot fight, and, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know that, don't you stay there, on the outside, on the outside
