It's not a case of doing what's rightIt's just the way I feel that mattersTell me I'm wrongI don't really care
It's not a case of share and share alikeI take what I requireI don't understand...You say it's not fair
You expect me to actLike a loverConsider my movesAnd deserve the rewardTo hold you in my armsAnd wait...For something to happen
It's not a case of telling the truthSome lines just fit the situationYou call me a liarYou would anyway

Come closer and seeSee into the treesFind the girlWhile you can
Come closer and seeSee into the darkJust follow your eyesJust follow your eyes
I hear her voiceCalling my nameThe sound is deepIn the dark
I hear her voiceAnd start to runInto the treesInto the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stopBut I know it's too lateI'm lost in a forestAll alone
The girl was never thereIt's always the sameI'm running towards nothingAgain and again and again

You'll fall in love with somebody elseAgain tonight
Take a stepYou move in timeBut it's always back...The reasons are clearYour face is drawnAnd ready for the next attack

Sunk deep in the nightI sink in the nightStanding alone underneath the skyI feel the chill of iceOn my faceI watch the hours go by
The hours go by...
You sleepSleep in a safe bedCurled and protectedProtected from sightUnder a safe roofDeep in your houseUnaware of the changes at night
At nightI hear the darkness breatheI sense the quiet despairListen to the silenceAt nightSomeone has to be thereSomeone has to be there
Someone must be there
