If you were a baby I would take you and run |
| I could hide you in the folds of my heart |
| There's a truth in the madness that I can't get beyond |
| And a fever that won't leave me alone |
I don't want my heart |
| Don't want my head |
| Don't want my friends |
| Don't want my bed |
| I can't live with myself |
| I can't live with myself |
| Can't take no help |
| I try to want to |
| But I can't get beyond you |
I will stare from the window |
| At the shapes in the rain |
| As the space between us drives me insane |
I can't live with myself |
| I can't live with myself |
| Can't take no help |
| Don't want no one else |
If I was a child |
| I would refuse to leave |
| I would sit down on the street |
| Kick my legs and scream |
I'm not much of a man |
| But I know how I am |
| I know this won't fade away |
| I will pretend and be strong |
| But I wonder where I belong |
And the feeling comes in waves |
| A hole in my body, aching |
| Like a heart dying |
| A soul crying |
| Exhausted and insecure |
| Took all you have and I still want more |
| So I reach out to hold you |
| But all I do is hurt you |
| Hurt you |
I can't live with myself |
| I can't live with myself |
| Can't take no help |
| I try to want to |
| But I can't get beyond you |
If I was a child I would take you and run |
| And I say I don't know... But I know |
| And I say I'll go |
You just spent the whole day |
| Driving away |
