(Same riff repeats throughout verse) 

You've got eyes that can see right through me 
You're not afraid of anything they've seen 

I was told that I would feel 
Nothing the first time 
I don't know how these cuts heal 
But in you I found a rhyme

Verse: 

You let me in to a conversation 
A conversation only we could make 
You break and enter my imagination 
Whatever's in there it's yours to take 

I was told that I would feel 
Nothing the first time 
You were slow to heal 
But this could be the night

Lyrics for pre Chorus 2:
