Thought of you whilst staring at the candelabra
Almost felt your fingers in my hair (mm, mm)
One of your eyes is green but the other is darker
Let me hold you still so I can stare (mm, mm)

Don't let me into your life, baby
I hurt you enough as it is
Don't let me under your skin, baby
I'm full of false promises

I want you to know me through my songs
They're so much cleaner than anything I could say
And I don't mind if we sit in silence
As long as you're near me

Frantically, I wrote you a letter
One I knew I never would send (ooh, mm)
Write fast, write deep, write better
Nothing I ever write will be enough (ooh, mm)

Don't let me into your life, baby
I hurt you enough as it is
Don't let me under your skin, baby
I'm full of false promises

I want you to know me through my songs
They're so much cleaner than anything I could say
And I don't mind if we sit in silence
As long as you're near me
