Sold On You lyrics

If I won`t live a lie it`s in my self defence
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
I`ll never see him now
Oh I can take the mystery in the darkest hour
And he won`t hurt me now
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 recognise the end
And feel the scars that never heal
I keep the purity, buried as I am
In an effort to conceal
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
Save your hollow breath
Feast your tired eyes
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?
Out of the way,
I`m anyone wilder than you are
Anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn`t deny me
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?
I`m in there somewhere
Nobody can carry me over
Now the dead winds have blown
With the cold rains
If I should fall from your side
Keep it in your mind
How I tried to keep him here
How I promised he`d be safe
And he never said a word
And he never cried
Another day leads me on
And I will follow
Whatever it takes now, I`ll do
If it`s over
And he won`t hurt me now, I know
