If I came knocking at your door

Would you let me in

Would you hear me out.

Should we go over this once more

I understand enough's been said

But I still need to get this out.

Oh wasted words

That were never meant to mean that much

And never meant to lead us to this place

I guess I never knew

That these feelings were inside of you

A secret shadow follows

And reveals what you don't show

I'll be there to follow where you go.

I can't defend the way I feel

I just pretend that it's for real

As it lies heavy on my mind

And when the tables have been turned it always feels like I've just learned

They're feelings better left behind.

Oh wasted words

That were never meant to mean that much

And never meant to lead us to this place

I guess I never knew

That these feelings were inside of you

A secret shadow follows

And reveals what you don't show

I'll be there to follow where you go.

I can't build a perfect world

Though I sometimes try

To act the simple girl

And if you'd only hold my hand

It will take me back to where it all began.

Oh wasted words

That were never meant to mean that much

And never meant to lead us to this place

I guess I never knew

That these feelings were inside of you

A secret shadow follows

And reveals what you don't show

I'll be there to follow where you go.
