I hear people talking all the time
Telling lies, taking sides and plagiarizing lines
But my mind is in a place so far away
I don’t think I’ll be back again to answer them today
Don’t lose my love, don’t give it up
Don’t leave what’s ahead, behind
A neon sign is flashing vacancy
There’s shadows on the windows but there’s no one on the street And the door is always open to my heart
Just down the crooked hallway where the walls fall apart
Don’t lose my love, don’t give it up Don’t leave what’s ahead, behind
I see it running backwards in your eyes
Those days without number that you thought would never die But tomorrow’s not a hand that you can hold
I’ll be here when you find out what lovers can’t be told
Don’t lose my love, don’t give it up Don’t leave what’s ahead, behind
