Oh leave the curtains drawn 

And don’t bother staying on

Let me pretend that I’m not myself

For a little while, see

Then I’m back on my feet

In the same old skin I know so well

Oh leave me in my little tune

I promise I’ll be back soon

Oh it’s hard to get by

When you’re afraid to cry

So you close your lips and cast your eyes down

You’ve got so much to tell 

And so much to yell

So why do you whisper still

Will you tell me if you get bored

And you don’t feel like staying anymore

Oh and everytime you’re here

No I don’t want you near,

But I can’t take it when you’re gone

So leave me for a while 

But leave me with a smile

So that I know you’ll be back for more

Oh please be patient with me

This is not how I wanted to be 

Oh I’ll always be there 

To show you that I care

But I’m just not very good with words

So I hope you’ll understand 

That a squeeze of my hand 

Means that I’m all yours

Oh please be patient with me 

This is not how I wanted to be 

And will you tell me if you get bored

And you don’t feel like staying anymore

Oh leave the curtains drawn 

And don’t bother staying on

Let me pretend that I’m not myself

For a little while, see

Then I’m back on my feet

In the same old skin I know so well

Oh leave me in my little tune

I promise I’ll be back soon

Oh it’s hard to get by
