I can see it staring at me
like the truth in the dark
you're there and you are dieing
there's are dagger in my heart
I can't know
i can't know
Being attacked by the tiger in my room
being let down again, just not too soon
being driven away as the wind blows
being taken to see somebody who knows
I can't know
i can't know
Understanding everyone in the room
undertsanding why the flowers are in bloom
understanding the bitter wind that blows
understanding that somebody knows
But i can't know
i can't know
There is a tiger in my room
why is it there i do not know
you are lying in the dark
and there's a dagger in my heart
Do you know
do you know
Waiting for the tiger in my room
waiting for my bleeding heart to zoom
waiting for the pretty one to show
waiting and dancing in the snow
Do you know
do you know
Do you know just what you've done to me
to leave me here up in my room
do you know how i loved you so
how i let your flowers grow
No you don't know
you don't know
Now there's no tiger in my room
live in the safety of some womb
understand the wind that blows
being in love with the flower that grows
But i can't know
i can't know
I can't know
no i can't know
