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.
