they won't come back

you know it's always the same

and they're sure to forget

saying "everyone lies"



so i'm down to this

i'm down to walking on air

and you're here by my side

with all your waving and smiles



please keep them away

don't let them touch me

Please don't let them lie

don't let them see me
