She was so enticed by his smile
She was so unaffected by his dream
For his dream of her was just not possible
She was so not that girl
It was just one of those things that happened or didn't happen
A strand of golden hair tangled
Like the words of a song, like a spider's web
Then he said,
R: Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
No one really knows you
I'm the only one
She was so enchanted by his voice
She was so shaken by his words
His plan for her was just not possible
She had no words
It isn't just that we cause each other such pain
At home or on the stage
Sometimes was heavenly sometimes was too heavy
I looked the other way
R:
Don't come here again
Unless fear of fire leaves you cold
And the cold makes you tired
If you feel at all
It's all about desire
About when you were true
About a bird on a wire and that was you
She does still hear him all night long
The same song over and over, it heals her heart
No voice of a stranger could play that part
Broke her heart,
Broke her heart
Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
No one really knows you
I'm the only one
She was so unaffected by his dream
For his dream of her was just not possible
She was so not that girl
It was just one of those things that happened or didn't happen
A strand of golden hair tangled
Like the words of a song, like a spider's web
Then he said,
