All the blue in your eyes
All the curls in your hair
You live a life under spotlights
And all the girls stare
All the girls stare
But I don't care

You throw your heart from your tongue into my hands
And your words sound like songs, but they don't make me dance
You won't make me dance, no chance

My heart's asleep
My head's a mess
The longer I wait, the harder it gets
I can't say no, I won't say yes
Please let go and love me less

And we've been here before
We've talked it over and over again
If you can't be a lover, I can't be your friend
I can't be your friend
Will this ever end?

My heart's asleep
My head's a mess
The longer I wait, the harder it gets
I can't say no, I won't say yes
Please let go and love me less

Is this a kiss, is this a favour
Is this a kick of good behaviour
Am I saving love for later
For a man I might not meet

It's late and it's cold and you take me home
The closer you hold me, the more I'm alone

My heart's asleep
My head's a mess
The longer I wait, the harder it gets
I can't say no, I won't say yes
Please let go and love me less (repeat)

My heart's asleep
My head's a mess
The longer I wait, the harder it gets
I can't say no, I won't say yes
Please let go, please let go and love me less
