I tried to repress it, then I carried its crown
I reached out to undress it and 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 color me in
Well, I tried to control it and cover it up
I reached out to console it
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 color me in
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
All these useless dreams of living in all these old noes
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me
