She wore out the feeling
With a tender killing
She paid for the blackout

I saw it rolling in.

Was I, was I

Watching over you, or just
Watching you fall apart.


Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold?
Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes

Or keep you from the cold?

She came with a warning

She left with the morning
An eye on the doorway
A scar in the early light.


Was I, was I
Hanging on a word

Or was I just a messenger.

Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?
Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold?


And in the look upon your face
There was an element of grace

Did I read between the lines?

Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?
Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold?


Did I, did I?
Did I, did I?

Did I, did I?

Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down

Or just a hand to hold?
