If I won't live a lie it's in my self defense
That I remember hiding then
If I'm eroding all the innocence
Am I running rigid once again?
And he won't hear me now in the darkest hour
Oh I can take the mystery in the darkest hour
If we are lost in paradise
Our recollection all but gone
We will make the only sacrifice
For the strength to carry on
In spite of everything I recognize the end
And feel the scars that never heal
I keep the purity, buried as I am
Don't underestimate what I've retained
All my souvenirs, forget-me-nots,
I'll pretend all you want me to
I won't believe it if you don't
Burn it up again, it's here and I've
Let it live through other stolen lives
You need protection as well as I
Nothing any good ever came from me
Thought I could run you in the ground
What do I do, what kind of fool
Covers you like an animal?
I'm anyone wilder than you are
Anyone who ever had a heart
Woe betide the one, not to be outdone,
Who will remember all that stuff,
Didn't I say it then enough?
If I could let it be, I would
Start it again, when does it end?
Now the dead winds have blown
If I should fall from your side
How I tried to keep him here
How I promised he'd be safe
Whatever it takes now, I'll do
And he won't hurt me now, I know
