Yesterday I got so oldI felt like I could dieYesterday I got so oldIt made me want to cryGo on go onJust walk awayGo on go onYour choice is madeGo on go onAnd disappearGo on go onAway from here
And I know I was wrongWhen I said it was trueThat it couldn't be me and be herInbetween without youWithout you
Yesterday I got so scaredI shivered like a childYesterday away from youIt froze me deep insideCome back come backDon't walk awayCome back come backCome back todayCome back come backWhy can't you seeCome back come backCome back to me
And I know I was wrongWhen I said it was trueThat it couldn't be me and be herInbetween without youWithout youWithout youWithout you
Without youWithout youWithout youWithout you

A nightmare of youOf death in the poolWakes me up at quarter to threeI'm lying on the floor of the night beforeWith a stranger lying next to meA nightmare of youOf death in the poolI see no further now than this dreamThe trembling hands of the trembling manHold my mouthTo hold in a scream
I try to thinkTo make it slowIf only here is where I goIf this is realI have to seeI turn on fireAnd next to me...It looks good!It tastes like nothing on earthIt looks good!It tastes like nothing on earthIts so smooth it even feels like skinIt tells me how it feels to be new
It tells me how it feels to be newA thousand voices whisper it trueIt tells me how it feels to be newAnd every voice belongsEvery voice belongs to you

Tell me who doesn't loveWhat can never come backYou can never forget how it used to feelThe illusion is deepIt's as deep as the nightI can tell by your tears you remember it all
I am paralysed by the Blood of ChristThough it clouds my eyesI can never stop
How it feels to be dryWalking bare in the sunEvery mirage I see is a mirage of youAs I cool in the twilightTaste the salt on my skinI recall all the tearsAll the broken words
I am paralysed by the Blood of ChristThough it clouds my eyesI can never stop
When the sunset's glow drifts away from youYou'll no longer knowIf any of this was really true at all...

This is stranger than I thoughtSix different ways inside my heartAnd every one I'll keep tonightSix different ways go deep inside
I'll tell them anything at allI know I'll give them more and more
I'll tell them anything at allI know I'll give the world and moreThey think I'm on my hands and headThis time they're much too slow
Six sides to every lie I sayIt's that American voice again"It was never quite like this beforeNot one of you is the same... "
This--this is stranger than I ever thoughtSix different ways inside my heartAnd everyone I'll keep tonightSix different ways go deep inside

It's so uselessHow can you be proudWhen you're sinking into the groundInto the ground fills up my dreamsAnd I love itLike a baby screams
Couldn't ask for more, you saidTake it allAnd strike meStrike me dead
Waiting againWaitingLike I waited beforeWaiting againWaiting here for nothing at allHeaven fills up my dreamsAnd I love itLike a baby screams
Couldn't ask for more, you saidCouldn't ever let it endTake it allTake it allAnd strike me dead
Heaven!Heaven!

I've waited hours for thisI've made myself so sickI wish I'd stayed asleep todayI never thought this day would endI never thought tonight could ever beThis close to me
Just try to see in the darkJust try to make it workTo feel the fear before you're hereI make the shapes come much too closeI pull my eyes outHold my breathAnd wait until I shake...
But if I had your faithThen I could make it safe and cleanIf only I was sureThat my head on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for thisI've made myself so sickI wish I'd stayed asleep todayI never thought this day would endI never thought tonight could ever beThis close to me
But if I had your faceI could make it safe and cleanIf only I was sureThat my head on the door was a dream

Say goodbye on a night like thisIf it's the last thing we ever doYou never looked as lost as thisSometimes it doesn't even look like youIt goes dark, it goes darker still, please stayBut I watch you like I'm made of stone as you walk away
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all nightA witch hunt for another girlFor always and ever is always for youYour trust The most gorgeously stupid thingI ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like todaySay it everytime you moveThe way that you look at me nowMakes me wish I was youIt goes deepIt goes deeper still this touchAnd the smileAnd the shake of your headAnd the smileAnd the shake of your head
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all nightCan't stand here like this anymoreFor always and ever is always for youI want it to be perfect like beforeI want to change it allI want to change
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all nightCan't stand here like this anymoreFor always and ever is always for youI want it to be perfect like beforeI want to change it allI want to change
I want to change it allI want to change

When you screw up your eyesWhen you screw up your faceWhen you throw out your armsAnd keep changing your shapeTaste the taste in your mouthTaste the taste on your tongueOn the film on your eyes of what I've become
What do I do when you screw up your eyes?What do I do when you screw up your face?What do I doWhen you throw out your armsFall on the floorAnd keep changing your shape?Jump right into your mouth?Jump around on your tongue?
And the film on your eyes of the way I've becomeMakes me sick at the way that I tryAnything in the worldTo impress that I'm doing thisOnly for you

I am slowing downAs the years go byI am sinking
So I trick myselfLike everybody else
The secrets I hideTwist me insideThey make me weaker
So I trick myselfLike everybody else
I crouch in fear and waitI'll never feel again...If only I could rememberAnything at all
