Lyrics

He taps at my window
Willing that I let him in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell him again

Maybe I'll write him a story
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again

And until you calm me down
I race around this town
Trying to find
Oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have him treat me this way

And Mother, I blame you
Therein trying to be you again
For I have become you
And I know every part of the game
And Father, I love you
But how can you watch as I push her away?
I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way

Maybe I'll write them a story and
Maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again

And until you calm me down
I race around this town
Until you calm me down
I race around this town
Trying to find
Oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have him treat me this way

So tap at my window
Maybe I might let you in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell you again
