Woke up in smoke and flames Had a lie with a stranger 5 dozen photographs solemn burnt up in anger Am I asleep still? Tell me, I could have been Don't let it tear us apart again limb from limb please let me in [Chorus:] But I don't want to look at you this way I'm staring through your window I don't want to think of you this way I'm begging, baby, Let me in Baby, just let me in I'm begging at your door just let me in Just let me in I drink the wine of youth Ended up in a coma Your wicked silver tounge No wonder nobody told you That I'm awake now First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen way back when you let me in [Chorus] It's my fault for waiting Just won't end up saving Guess this is farewell Somehow, you let me in hey See, I'm awake now First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen Way back when you let me in [Chorus] There's fault for waiting Just won't end up saving Guess this is farewell Somehow, you let me in
