You Always Take Me In

 

I've watched you try on every dress 

Just to find the one that's best  

It is no wonder I can't see 

How you ended up here with me

 

When you hold me tight and close your eyes

Do you ever, ever feel the lies?

Cause when I’m with you I’m not me

I’m the man I wish I could be

 

CHORUS

I'm just a simple man

Come to you with calloused hands

Much too rough for your velvet skin

Yet you always take me in

                         

You pull away and start to cry

I touch your shoulder to ask why

You hush me say it's not you

Then hold me in your darkened room

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

I wish I was more like him                                           

Like the man you think you’re lettin’ in                 

 

REPEAT CHORUS
