[Verse 1]
When they gave you roses
And believed your wild excuses
You were sealing the deal
Halfway down the road
And ain't it funny how the ghosts
They fade and suddenly appear

[Pre-Chorus]
You went too far
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear

[Chorus]
'Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown

[Verse 2]
You reached out for more
And as the waves hit at the shore
You felt the fading of your will
Choke back the matter
From the bottom of the ladder
Ask me if I love you still
[Pre-Chorus]
You went too far
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear

[Chorus]
'Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
On the ashes of your paper crown

[Bridge]
In the bright light of the sun
Will you make sure everyone could see your face?
You make fun of everyone who falls
And meantime they were saving you a place

[Chorus]
'Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
And the talking heads don't make a sound
At the ageing of your paper crown
Better if you don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown
