It's not your eyes

It's not what you say

You're just lonely

Oh, you're acting your thin disguise

All your perfectly delivered lines

Let me in the wall
C
You've built around
G
We can light a match
Am
And burn it down
F
Let me hold your hand
C
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
G
In front of us
Dust to dust
[Verse 3]

You've held your head up

You've fought the fight
Am
You bear the scars
You've done your time

Listen to me

Let me in the wall

You've built around

In front of us
Dust to dust

We've been lonely
G C
We've been lonely, too long
