Gentlemen Open Up
I Shut you out a little tonight cos I,
I don’t think I was burning so bright.
I don’t want you to see me tonight.
If there’s a chance to jump then I might.
I tried to act like I didn’t care as I,
Saw someone like you sat near my chair but I,
I tried to hide cos I could not bear,
The very thought of you seeing me there
Open up, my old heart
I long to see,
all of you in all of me
I’m walking home afraid of myself cos I’m,
Having thoughts like I’m someone else
Putting trust in my youth and my wealth,
Would you put me back on the shelf?
I tried to run away but I fell,
Overcome by my own sense of smell
I’m covered in my vomit as well
Looking up at the stars and I yell.
I wanna know a change that will last, just to,
Know that the past stays the past, and I,
I wanna take it slow not too fast cos I,
I wanna know a change that will last.
I Shut you out a little tonight cos I,
I don’t think I was burning so bright.
But God I know you saw me tonight.
I wanna come back into the light
