[Verse 1]
I thought I saw you on the train
But the houses kept getting in the way
I thought It might be you
I thought I saw you at my wits end
Sharing a cigarette with a friend
It might have not been you

[Chorus]
Don't lead me back to where I came from
Don't lead me back to where I came from

[Verse 2]
I know you saw me at my best
Puffing out my chest
I know you were impressed, it had to be you
You took me by surprise at the end
Just turned back and started again
It was too late for amends

[Bridge]
You're the silence in my head
It rots above my bed
As the stars are turning green
I look back and all I see
Is that the girl that you see
In my little dream
Is that the girl that you see
She's become a part of me
[Chorus]
Don't lead me back to where I came from
Don't lead me back to where I came from
Don't lead me back to where I came from
Don't lead me back to where I came from
