Helen, Oh I

So I left the boys in Germany

I went and got a flight on my own

Said I've gotta go

Meet up down the road

And I knew it's our last chance

So I flew you out to France to my show

But I didn't know

No, I should've known

That trying to rebuild

Would only lead to us falling apart

'Cause Paris stole your heart

Paris stole your heart

In every line of my notes, every song that I wrote

Off the pages you glow

In every line of my notes, every song that I wrote

Off the pages you glow

So I'm ripping out the pages and I put 'em to the flame

I'm screaming Helen, oh I, Helen, oh I

I hate to see you go, but I just had to watch you glow

Oh, just one final time, one final time

Helen, oh I, Helen, oh I

I hate to see you go, but I just had to watch you glow

Oh, just one final time

When you leave my lips

You know you launch a thousand ships every time

Inside of my mind

Inside of my mind

And so I give into your forces

And ascend my wooden horses to find

The place you'll reside

The pages you hide in

In every line of my notes, every song that I wrote

Off the pages you glow

In every line of my notes, every song that I wrote

Off the pages you glow

So I'm ripping out the pages and I put 'em to the flame

I'm screaming Helen, oh I, Helen, oh I

I hate to see you go, but I just had to watch you glow

Oh, just one final time, one final time

Helen, oh I, Helen, oh I

I hate to see you go, but I just had to watch you glow

Oh, just one final time, one final time

Now there's no afterglow

From the pages I roam

All that's left of you is smoke

All that's left of you is smoke

So now I'll never hold ya

I don't know why I never told ya

All the things you should've known, yeah

You should've known, yeah

I never told ya

What I'm gonna do, what I'm going through

What I wanna see, who I wanna be

When I get older

I never told ya, told you

What I wanna do, what I'm going through

What I wanna see, who I wanna be

When I get older

I never told ya, told you

What I wanna do, what I'm going through

What I wanna see, who I wanna be

When I get older

I never told ya, told you

What I'm gonna do, what I'm going through

What I wanna see, who I wanna be

When I get older

I never told ya

I never told ya
