In the night you glow
I'm mesmerised so I don’t go
There’s so much that I want to show

You say that you’re mine
You say it with averted eyes
Switching off the kitchen light

Dancing in your room, really falling for you
Didn’t have a clue, just falling for you
Thought I’d be no one if I would mean nothing to you

I swore I was done with unzipping old wounds
But when it gets dark I am back in your room
I would’ve gone home if I knew the things you’d do

You don’t know what you mean to me
I say to you when you’re so asleep
A shame, a shame a shower can’t clean the scenes
From my memory
I want to scream
I want to scream

Don’t show me
What you are
No, ‘cause we’ve been through this before
Where you walk out the door
And I fall apart

Don’t show me
What you are
No, ‘cause we’ve been through this before
Leave some space in my heart
For another half

Don’t just stand over there
Running your hands through your hair
Telling me it’s all in my head

So I try to memorise your lines
‘Cause this is the last time
You made that much clear

Dancing in your room, really falling for you
I’m 16 with no clue, just falling for you
I thought I’d be no one if I would mean nothing to you

(I gave you everything you gave me nothing but some trauma)

And I’d like to be done with unzipping old wounds
But when I get dark I’m still back in your room
Oh I should’ve gone home before I let my hair loose

Your skeletons scrape at the door
Of your wardrobe, all on the floor
You know that it comes around,
And when you’re found out
The ones you drowned out won’t fck around

Don’t show me
What you are
No, ‘cause we’ve been through this before
Where you walk out the door
And I fall apart

Don’t show me
What you are
No, ‘cause we’ve been through this before
Leave some space in my heart
For another half

Don’t show me
What you are
No, ‘cause we’ve been through this before
Where you walk out the door
And I fall apart, love

Don’t show me
What you are
No, ‘cause we’ve been through this before
Leave some space in my heart
For another half
