Intro:  –  –  –  – 
        –  –  –    - *


                                          
So the floodgates open but nothing comes out 
                                           *
I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt 
                                             
But my heart keeps telling me 'hold your ground 
                                             *
You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now 

                  *    
And I'm lonely again tonight 
                             * 
I can feel it like a knot in my side 
                                  * 
They keep saying this is part of the ride 
                           * 
But im not getting stronger 

                     * 
Yet hold me against the light 
                       * 
And do you see any bullet inside? 
                              * 
Wouldnt find one if you magnified 
                              * 
Because you've got the wrong girl 

                                          
Had my fingers round the back of your chair 
                                           *
You'd never miss a thing but you missed me there 
                                
And I kept thinking 'Am I prepared 
                                           *
To pull it out from under your trusting stare' 

                                     
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head 
                                                *
And I'm walking around bumping into things you said 
                                             
This has not been as easy as I thought it would 
                                              *
I'd be cooling down the fire if I thought I could 

                  *    
And I'm lonely again tonight 
                             * 
I can feel it like a knot in my side 
                                  * 
They keep saying this is part of the ride 
                           * 
But im not getting stronger 

                     * 
Yet hold me against the light 
                       * 
And do you see any bullet inside? 
                              * 
Wouldnt find one if you magnified 
                              * 
Because you've got the wrong girl
