You like the warmth of the summer nights
But you can't escape the call of the winter rain
And I try to keep the light burning bright
But can't turn away from the pleasure of my pain
How can you be sorry when you don't even know what you did?
You can take your stories to hell, I've got nothing left to give
No, no, no, it's happening again
You opened up your heart and let somebody in
Now you've got a stranger in your home
You could kick him out but then you would be alone
Turn back the clock, see the time we lost
Make a different choice and watch the whole picture change
Learn that to hear is to have a voice
We could have it all if we just get out of the way
How can you move forward when you don't even know where you've been?
Hopelessness has done nothing for me
I want this thing to live
Well here we are, it's happening again
You opened up your heart and let somebody in
Now you've got a stranger in your home
Might as well sit down and try to get to know him
