i tried to repress it
then i carried its crown
i reached out to undress it
but love let me down
love let me down…

so i tried to erase it
but the ink bled right through
almost drove myself crazy
when these words led to you
and all these useless dreams
of living alone
like a dogless bone…

so come let me love you
come let me love you
and then… colour me in.

well i tried to control it
and cover it up
i reached out to console it
but it was never enough

never enough…
so i tried to forget it
that was all part of the show
told myself I’d regret it
but what do I know
about all these useless dreams
of living alone
like a dogless bone…

so come let me love you
come let me love you
and then… colour me in.

so come let me love you
come let me take this through the end
of all these useless dreams of living
in all these useless dreams…
of all these useless dreams of living
in all these old noes…

so come let me love you…
come let me love you…
come let me love you…
