lyrics

1 – Haven’t opened the door
For so many years
I look out at the sky
Through a curtain of tears
In all of the stories
Running ‘round like an endless tape
I’m always the villain
You always escape

2 – I tried letting it out
I tried holding it in
Used to know the secret
But I’ve forgotten again
When to hit rewind
When to hit erase
I’m always the villain
You always escape

CHO – Don’t want to hear another bedtime story
Don’t tell me that one again.

3 – I’ve forgotten the sun
How it lit your face
I’ve forgotten the soft moon shine
On the floor of your little place
There’s just one thing hangs around
Like a permanent ache
I’m always the villain
You always escape

CHO – Don’t want to hear another bedtime story
Don’t tell me that one again.

4 – I’ve forgotten the sun
How it lit your face
I’ve forgotten the soft moon shine
On the floor of your little place
There’s just one thing hangs around
Like a permanent ache
I’m always the villain
You always escape
