Don't wanna be there for you when you're alone
And need a loving touch
For that would be too much
We saw each other for a moment but then it was clear
That these eyes, they weren't mine
They fail me all the time

I'm gonna leave you alone
Despite the light that might've shone, take care

No one holds you closer than the one you haven't met
No one compares to the one that you invented in your head

I've heard the grass gets greener
The further you go from the tomb you call your home
But you gotta go alone
The howling wind talked to me as I rode away
With the night so close behind
With my dream girl on my mind

I'm gonna have her to hold
Far from the tortured days of old, I swear
No one holds you closer than the one you haven't met
No one compares to the one that you invented in your head

I don't even know what I would say to you
If I could see your face

I'm gonna leave you alone
Despite the light that might've shone, take care

No one holds you closer than the one you haven't met
No one compares to the one that you invented in your head
No one holds you closer than the one you haven't met
No one compares to the one that you invented in your head

I don't even know what I would say to you
If I could see your face
