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
