Knowing her was like a shot of a drug
She came on so quickly and then she wore off

That high that came from somewhere away
She didn't know how to maintain

And I didn't know how to fix it for her
Because she never showed me her way

  (music playing without words)

But it left her thinking that she knew me now
Thought she saw the spark, and maybe knew how

She thought she saw her weaknesses
Mirrored in my strengths

It must have been when she felt locked in
And I opened her up at length

Her with burnt fingers, aching inside
How to go forward, what not to hide

That moment when she opened up more
And I came straight through her door

  (more without words)

Knowing her was like a shot of a drug
That simply and slowly wore off
