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
