(Same riff repeats throughout verse)
 
You've got eyes that can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything they've seen
 
I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a rhyme

[Verse]
 
You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever's in there it's yours to take
 
I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night

Lyrics for pre chorus 2:

And there is a world we can't always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light, don't let it go out
