See it from the outside
Running toward the wall
Seeing from your blinds eye
But you don't know me at all
I've been here
Too many times before
And your tears don't mean a thing
I only come when you scream
I told you

(Chorus:)
Child, don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay
You'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence

This is what you wanted
Did I make your dreams come true
Sitting in a corner
Wondering what you got into
You ached for things
You don't understand
That your tears don't mean a thing
And I only come when you scream
I told you

Child, don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay
You'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence

There's no such thing as fate
Only yourself to blame
You never walked away
I told you

Child, don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay
You'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence

Just don't follow me home
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay
You'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence

And I just want to take your innocence
I just want to take
