And now I've grown so thin I fear that they may have me beat

Too Late

You made me promises. promises you never meant to keep
when I was home that night took me half the night to fall asleep
you to me
were all my life would ever be

And now they're closing in
I see them in the shadows of the hall
And now they're closing in
I see them when there is no light at all
you to me
were all that kept them all from me

They're hiding in my shoes behind the laces, don't you see?
But I took the laces out
and now they let me be
I found them in the seams of clothes on the left sleeve, not the right
So I ripped the seams right out. Now I feel all right
But when I find them in my food it makes it difficult to eat
And now I've grown so thin I fear that they may have me beat

you to me
were all that kept them all from me

Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, could hear them now
Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I could see them now
Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, could hear them now
Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, could see them now
Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, Only I, could hear them now...

you to me
were all that kept them all from me

And did you say and did you say that you would keep them all at bay?
And did you say and did you say and did you say that you would never go away?
