So you think that you have found A better life that you should live And you're through givin' it all away I wish there's something I could say Like the time you looked into the mirror And saw someone else lookin' back I wish I could find the words But there's nothing that even comes close
'Cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right through me There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right by me And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
When the sun dies down, the air grows cold And the moon plays tricks in the night Crawlin' low like a snake out of sight Your guide is the northern light You wanna laugh say I'm insane Don't have the sense to come in from the rain I know how to keep myself between the drops
There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right through me There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right by me And you can't go when the knife feels like justice slip away slip away slip away slip away
So you think that you have won me over By settin' me on fire With the sound of your beating heart And you're burnin' hot desire Like the time I looked at your reflections And saw someone else lookin' back It's a shame things happen that way 'Cause there's no one that even comes close
And there ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right through me There ain't nobody ever looked at me Without lookin' right by me And you can't go when the knife feels like justice I said you can't go on when the blade tears inside you You can't go on when the knife feels like justice
