Don't touch her there, she's blindfolded. She remembers on the bus. Into my heart. Don't remember. Like you left us without notice. Now you've come back. Like you left us. Like you owe us. Into my heart. It's not me, it can't be. It's not you. I can't do what I do if it's you. This is not happening. Don't touch her there. She told me. She remembers how it was. Into my heart. Don't remember. Like you left us without notice. It's not me, it can't be. It's not you. I can't do what I do if it's you. This is not happening. It's not me, it can't be. It's not you. I can't do what I do if it's you. This is not happening. Come home. Come home. It's not me, it can't be. It's not you. I can't do what I do if it's you. This is not happening. It's not me, it can't be. It's not you. I can't do what I do if we're through. This is not happening. Don't touch her there. He watched her. She knew his look. From behind. When she came home for Christmas.
