Where do you go
When you’re alone and in your head
Why do they know you
Is your story painted in red
What do you see
What do you dream when your awake
What have they seen of you
Are you afraid of what’s been said

And if time stood still
If you won’t be your witness
No one ever will

Chorus:
I hear a voice that’s in my head
Don’t let me down
Cause I can’t hold the future in my head
So many things I should’ve said
That let me down

Cause I would be a lucky girl
If time stood on its head
Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down
Don’t let them see
These shadows fallin’ over me
Where do you go
When you’re awake and in your head
Why do they know you
Is your story painted in red

And if time stood still
If I can’t be my teacher
No one ever will

Chorus:
I hear a voice that’s in my head
Don’t let me down
Cause I can’t hold the future in my head
So many things I should’ve said
That let me down

And I can’t choose the road ahead
Close my eyes and hold my breath
Hope my little death won’t let me down
And I can’t choose the road ahead
Close my eyes and hold my breath
Hope my little death won’t let me down

And if time stood still
If I can’t be my teacher
No one ever will

Chorus:
I hear a voice that’s in my head
Don’t let me down
Cause I can’t hold the future in my head
So many things I should’ve said
That let me down
I hear a voice that’s in my head
Don’t let me down
Cause I can’t hold the future in my head
So many things I should’ve said
That let me down

Cause I would be a lucky girl
If time stood on its head
Don’t let me down
