The city slips away too soon    Tonight she's wide awake    Making small talk with Mr. Moon    Singing louder than the rain    On nights like these she can be herself    She forgets I'm there but it's just as well    I always feel like I'm by myself    And she never will, oh never will      She says she hates the fact that men can see    She wants to tear the eyes    out of everything      What makes her feel the way she feels    Like everything is nothing    What makes her see the things she sees    Like everything that's wrong with me    I guess I should stop trying to figure her out    I should know by now that I'm not allowed    Now I know this is not allowed    If I want to keep her coming 'round      She says she hates the fact that men can see    She wants to tear the eyes    out of every living thing    Oh God! I grin    Does that include me...Does that include...      She hides her reflection with pictures from magazines    She gets so angry when I don't see what she sees    But if I'm supposed to sit and watch her tear herself apart    Then maybe I was wrong she never really knew me at all...       Hello, hello, did you find your self-esteem    Should I suppose that he's giving you what you need    And so it goes and slowly I begin to breathe    Hello, hello, I'm so sorry it wasn't me...    I'm so sorry it wasn't me      The city slips away too soon    Tonight she's wide awake    Making small talk with Mr. Moon    He listens to everything she says    And he doesn't try to understand    Never expects to be let in    He just hangs on every word    That comes from the mouth of this little girl
