and she led me on, down with secrets I can’t keep

close your eyes and

sleep don’t wait up for me hush now

don’t you speak to me

wrapped my hurt in you and took shelter in that pain
the opiate of blame

is your broken heart, your heart

so now I’m all by myself as I’ve always felt I’ll betray

my tears

to anyone caught in our ruse of fools

one last kiss from me
one last kiss goodnight

didn’t want to lose you once again

didn’t want to be your friend

fulfilled a promise made of tin and crawled
back to you

I’m all by myself as I’ve always felt

I’ll betray

myself

to anyone, lost, anyone but you

so let the sadness come again

on that you can depend on me until the bitter bitter end

of the world

when god sleeps in bliss

and I’m all by myself

as I’ve always felt and I’ll betray myself

to anyone
