[Verse 1]
I know how to read alone
Here in the dark some old stories are told
The telephone haunts me
Like a picture of things that I'd never
Bring home

[Chorus]
She cries like I do
Too late for new words
She cries like I do
It seems that's alright

[Verse 2]
No one is allowed in here
I'm just trying new feelings...
This edge in my voice that says
"I never touched your heart, I suppose"

[Chorus]
She cries like I do
Too late for new words
She cries like I do
It seems that's alright
She cries like I do
Like we're supposed to
She cries like I do
Here in the dark
