Close your eyes and you'll believe
In fiction and the passing key
To all those places that we ain't been
I love you but I can't stay
Know you've got me all figured out
Upside down and inside out
You know I'm leaving every day
I love you but I can't stay
I love you but I can't stay
In the dark you'll find your way
Avoid the ghosts that lead astray
Don't hold your breath, don't be afraid
I love you but I can't stay
I'm not sure why I made this mess
I guess the point is it's pointless
I'm choking on my words to say
I love you but I can't stay
I love you but I can't stay
All alone again
On my own again
Lonely road ahead
All alone again
Who's this in my body?
No, no, no it's not me
Arrows point me up to the sky
Tied my shoes, I tied my tie
You know I'm tied up in every way
I love you but I can't stay
