Anna Lee Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Helpless child
They invite your hands to fill their needs
Will you be the same?
Shameless smile
To steal from you the innocence that bleeds
Will they feel your pain?

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You don't want to breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone

[Chorus]
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Don't want to be alone
Where do you belong
Anna Lee?

[Verse 2]
Behind those eyes
The vivid scene
A lucid dream within
Questioned secrets are revealed
And every time
You can't deny
The lines that trace your skin
Wounds that never heal

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You don't want to breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone

[Chorus]
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you (Ohhhh)
Let her breathe the air
Don't want to be alone
Where do you belong
Anna Lee?

[Bridge]
And now she's calling out a name
Can't keep on hiding all her pain
You feel the rain move in
As you begin
To turn and answer the call

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You don't want to breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone

[Chorus]
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Don't want to be alone
Where do you belong
Anna Lee?

[Instrumental Outro]
