I'll sleep alone tonight
just like I did when I was a child.
And in the morning I'll wake
and I'll take my flight.
And I'll run so hard and I'll run so fast
that I'll run right back into my past.
Maybe I'll be the man I want to be.
Maybe I'll take the path that was briefly shown to me
where I let bad in.
Where I could let bad in.
Once you let bad in you cannot close the door.
Now I watch you lean forward
and I watch you lean back.
I know every inch of you from the day we made the pact.
And I love you so much it scares me half to death.
With an innocence I have never known
and it sobers me with each breath.
Oh but life is a big parade
and I'm learnin' each and every day
not to let bad in, oh, let bad in.
Once you let bad in you cannot close the door.
