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   Maybe 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   The city slips away too soon   Tonight she's wide awake   Making small talk with Mr.Moon   He listens to everything she says and dosen'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
