i remember what you said the very first day that we met oh baby it s me not you i was with you when you left behind each and every step cause oh baby it was me not you oooh baby can you live with the thought of me instead to ask for love is to ask for someone too with every broken glass behind every shattered past oh baby it s me not you been in and out of every room walking like this bleeding groom with the broom i sweep away dust and devils but you heal every hurt by recycling old dirt and through your eyes i can see your heart disheveled oh baby how you pretend to hold me in your hands yet when you rise i m the first thing you let you go and in the cold desert land i fingered in the sand cause oh baby it was me not you there s a hidden wound that cries for every man that s brushed your thigh but you cover up and play it all again you flinch with every touch hoping he won t take too much but there s a novocain that enables you go oh baby look inside it s in my heart you ll find which is worth more than gold or silver yes i bleed for them all and i ll be there when you fall cause oh baby its me not you baby it s me its true
