Anna Lee

[Verse 1]
You hold this place inside my head you're a symphony of hurt
The daylight passes through me to another crippled verse
Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends
Right back where we started: pain, dead flowers on the bed

[Chorus]
Anna Lee, don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark, we all see what we know
It's the space that scares us so

[Verse 2]
You lead me through your garden where only dead things dare to grow
You convince me I deserve the thorns you've tried so hard to show
Normalness escapes me to the point of no return
The memories around this place keep us from movin' on

[Chorus]
Anna Lee, don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark, we all see what we know
It's the space that scares us so

[Bridge]
The endless balmy air we breathe
This city's startin' to get to me tonight
I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here
I find no comfort in the pain I always cause

[Pre-Chorus]
All night (all night)
She might wait around for me
To come along with a promise and a dream

[Chorus]
Anna Lee, don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark, we all see what we know
It's the space that scares us so

[Outro]
Anna Lee, don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
'Cause I know what I've been doin' to you
Let me let you know
I know what you've been waitin' for
Let me let you go
