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 in my notes Every song that I wrote Off the pages you glow In every line in 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 And Helen, oh I Helen, oh I And when you leave my lips You know you launch a thousand ships every time Inside of my mind Inside of my mind 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 in my notes Every song that I wrote Off the pages you glow In every line in 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 And 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
