(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

You let me in to a conversation

Nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night
