She’s sipping a cappuccino
Like a cat sipping out of a bowl
He’s black espresso
To start his heart from going cold

He’s thinking ‘cognac’
But afraid his hands might shake
She’s checking her make-up
Her smile’s giving nothing away

You better kill me before I kill you
You look good in black
Who’ll pay the bill and keep on walking
Will get a hole in your back

Two faded tourists
Their visas have long expired
Two forgotten journalists
Whose headlines have retired

What’s that in his pocket?
They ain’t Chinese banknotes
What’s that in her handbag?
That’s no bar of gold.

You better kill me before l kill you
You look good in black
Who'll pay the bill and keep on walking
Will get a hole in their back

Two suntanned lovers
Love didn’t die, it just went dry
Fading into the sunlight
Those bones of love passing by

You sit in your palace
I’m out on the street
You drink the champagne of your sweet life
I’ve got nothing to eat
But I’ve got more fingers
Than I’ve got friends

I wanna be the sunlight
That illuminates your skin
Be the one you’re waiting for
The one that you let in
But whenever I see you
It always seems to rain

Don’t ever give up
Just look up
There’s an angel on the way

I wanna hold you, touch you
Melt inside your mouth
Dive deep inside you
And never come on out
The days are getting shorter
And at nights I burn up inside

I’m standing on a bridge, in the fog
Just waiting for you
I know you’ll never come
But wait is what I’ll do
And see the sunrise
Knowing you’re around
Don’t ever give up
Just look up
There’s an angel on the way…

When you’re down , my baby
I’m falling down with you
Maybe it looks like I don’t care
But that’s not true
And when your heart is bleeding
I know it’s my fault
And I take all the blame on me
Though it doesn’t show

There is a killer in me
Hidden beneath my smile
She makes me wanna hurt you, baby
She makes me tell you lies
Heaven knows why
I don’t know why

We’re not so long together
But we travelled so far
I know I haven’t been there for you
More than once or twice
And when I see you crying
It’s not that I don’t care
I always wait with saying “sorry”
Till it gets too late

There is a child in me
Hidden behind my eyes
Hiding in his loneliness
No matter how hard I try
Heaven knows why
I don’t know why

When you’re down, my baby
I’m falling down with you
You say it looks like I don’t care
But it’s not true
Maybe my love isn’t golden
But surely is real
And I could die today, right now
For what I feel

There’s always you in me
Hidden deep in my heart
You make me wanna sing for you
For you I wrote these lines
Heaven knows why
I don’t know why
Heaven knows why
I don’t know why

I was crazy about the way you dressed, undressed
All that wild sex
And the way you got dressed
That was then and this is now
You were the pilot in my stormy skies
I fell in love
With your mischievous eyes
That was then and this is now

You froze me into Yesterday
You are the beautiful murderess who got away
We couldn’t tango but we sure could kiss
That was then and this is now

After Summer came Winter
And it all went cold and black
The sun is shining somewhere else and never coming back
That was then and this is now

There was the magic of the moment
The wisdom of a sigh
You held me so fiercely through those endless nights
That was then and this is now

Nie wierzę już w nic
Nie czekam na cud
Wyśniły się sny
Tu popiół, tam miód...

Leciałam co sił
Jak motyl pod wiatr
Zostałeś mi Ty
to tyle, co mam

Jeśli wszystko stracone
Mosty złudzeń spalone
Minął czas
Z tobą skończyć się pragnę
Deal po diable
Jak Bonnie i Clyde

Nie chodzę się bić
Bo nie ma już o co
Nie nosi mnie w dym
Choć wciąż włóczę się nocą

Spójrz, znów ci przynoszę
Ten sam bukiet z gwiazd
Zostałaś mi Ty
To tyle co mam

Jeśli wszystko stracone
Rafy snów zatopione
Minął czas
Z tobą skończyć się pragnę
Deal po diable
Jak Bonnie i Clyde

Jeśli wszystko stracone
Mosty złudzeń spalone
Mamy czas
Z tobą skończyć się pragnę
Deal po diable
Jak Bonnie i Clyde

I wanna be on the run with you
Sweaty car, sunglasses, light headed...
I wanna get so high

You drive me 'round town, through a neon blur
And I breath in your every word
A drug I've never tried

I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I want the diamond of your heart

Wrapped up in the black sheets
Your kisses sweet and deep
Exploring this fascination

Lost and found in this back street hotel
No one will ever tell...
My secret revelation

I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I want the diamond of your heart

I reach for you in the darkness, darling
And you shine your light through me
I can't believe how dead I’ve been

Don’t you see how easy it is
To get used to your silver lips
And your snaky, snaky hips

I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I want the diamond of your heart

In your world of admirers, lovers, hangers-on,
Bathroom mirrors, ghosts and fleeting friends
Your SOSs, your emotional messes
And your dramas without end

You’re victories, wardrobe full of clothes you never wear
A vase of daffodils in your window
It’s here I met the graveyard of my dreams
The ones I didn’t want to know

We’re learning, learning how to fall
We’re learning, learning how to fall

Buried in the darkness, sitting naked in your chair
You’re statue, indifferent to my stare
I came of beginning at your bed,
After a while, I forgot I was there

So I lost my body, lost time but not my mind
Just like life after a death
Washed away in a raging river
And the coldness took away my breath

We’re learning, learning how to fall

Down a corridor of endless doors in a building of endless floors
We run, hand in hand
Searching for stupid things said in a clever way
Afraid we might not understand

We’ve forgotten the beating heart, breathing in and breathing out
How to see, touch and feel
We never want to come back down
Once we’ve got to the top of the hill

Sometimes I almost feel you
Right beside me
Sometimes I almost sense
Your warming touch

No matter where I go
I look around me
Hoping to be blessed
With Your smile

And then I take
Someone else’s face for yours
And then I give
My trembling heart away
And when I realize
It wasn’t you, for sure
I run and cry for my mistakes…

Sometimes I’m so impatient
I paint my lips red
To help you recognize me
In the crowd

Oh, if I knew your name
It would be easier
But I don’t even know
The colour of Your eyes

So I take
Someone else’s eyes for yours
And then I let myself
Drown in them
And when I realize
It didn’t help at all
I run and cry for my mistakes…

So, come and find me, baby
‘Cause I am almost 30
And I don’t have no more time to waste
Come and hold me, honey
‘Cause life’s no longer funny
When I wake up all alone in empty bed

I don’t wanna take
Nobody’s arms for yours
Don’t wanna let myself
Get lost in them
Don’t wanna go, no more
For second best
And then run and cry for my mistakes

Trying to find your way back to love
To find that road you were walking on
You’re scared of who you are,
Scared of who you might be,
Scared of your karma pointing at me

If you should fall
I’ll hold you, love you

Sometimes we’re frozen deep within our skins
Love’s hard to lock out, easy to let in
And we’re tired of ceilings
Crashing down again
I’m sinking feeling
That it all comes down to pain

We make ourselves prisoners of our minds
And we confine ourselves in Time
Standing hand in hand
We’re facing this world alone
We’re going to make this love our own

Let's play the guitar
Let's tap our feet
Let's sing of love
To make us all weep

Let's fill up our hearts
And empty our minds
Give ourselves to the music
And dance outside Time

Let's sway our bodies
Like the wind bends the trees
Let’s sing this melody
To cure our disease

Ah, sweet magic
Ah, this sweet, cruel magic

Let's fly through perfumed dreams
On a tapestry of lovers’ words
From the first burning kiss
To the loss and the hurt

Here, the ladies wear their dresses tight
The men, their peacock suits
The moon comes out every night
In a sky of midnight blue

We, who have loved
We, who have been loved
Ah, this sweet, cruel magic
We did it all for Love

They say everything has already happened
The world just repeats itself
There’s nothing new for us to discover
Nothing wise left to say

I know I can’t teach you a thing
You haven’t learnt before
Whatever I’d like to tell you now
You already know…

But I’ll try
Just one time
And I’ll say:

Look at the Sun – it’s so bright!
And it shines just for you
There’s nobody else
What you believe is your choice
It’s your life, so come on!
Don’t waste it away
Just give yourself another chance

They say everything what’s already happened
Will happen again and again
It doesn’t matter if someone’s missing
There’s no one that can’t be replaced

So each morning you look for a reason
Just to open your eyes
But if you don’t find one deep in you
You’ll never find it outside

So, here I try
One more time
And I say:

Look at the Sun – it’s so bright!
There are so many roads you can take
There are still many things you can change
Just give yourself another chance
Just give yourself another chance and

Look at the Sun – it’s so bright!
Look at the Sun – it’s so bright
And it shines just for you
There’s nobody else
What you believe is your choice
You can do what you want
Whatever they say
Just give yourself another chance

After the initial shock
Of not having what you've got
And your body just drops away
Nothing has really changed
That’s frightening and its strange
And no one can hear what you say

And everything just lingers on
Like an echo of your favourite song
It was so simple after all
But now you're on the other side of the door

Knock-knock, let me in
Its cold outside in this cosmic wind
Knock-knock, let me in
Just for tonight

Will you drive an outrageous Cadillac
Wear cowboy boots and a funny hat
And speed through the lights downtown?
Is there an eternal Fate?
Will you see your eternal lover's face,
As you crash into the Milky Way?

And everything just lingers on
Like an echo of your favourite song
It was so simple after all
But now you're on the other side of the door

Knock-knock, let me in
Its cold outside in this cosmic wind
Knock-knock, let me in
Just for tonight

Been to heaven, been to hell
Lost my heart in cheap hotels
Been doing this for so many years
Now it doesn’t matter what I wear,
How I look, what I own, if I care
But where is this guiding light?

Yesterday I saw the ghost
Of my shaded past
He was standing by my window
Looking kind of lost
He said : “I’ve travelled across the oceans
Of time and space
Just to say I love you
I still can’t forget”

I didn’t even stop to listen
I had my things to do
So I just kept on walking
Staring at my shoes
I guess I didn’t have the courage
To look him in the face
Then I heard his voice
Crying at my back

And he said: You’re a strange bird
You sang so sweet then you flew away
You’re a weird flame
You made me warm till I got burnt
Oh! you’ll pay for this one day

When I got home it was late at night
Nothing on TV
So I just dived into the silence
With a cup of tea
Somehow I couldn’t rest my mind
When I was in bed
I still heard these words
Rattling in my head

And he said: You’re a strange bird
You sang so sweet then you flew away
You’re a weird flame
You made me warm till I got burnt
Oh! you’ll pay for this one day

I woke up early in the morning
Blinded by the Sun
I never felt so empty and so lonely
In my life
I’ve left so many ghosts behind me
Just to save my self
Now I’m all alone
And that’s the price I pay

I’m a strange bird
I sing so sweet then I fly away
I’m a weird flame
I’ll make you warm
Till you get burnt
I just look for Love
Does it make me bad?
We all look for Love
But it’s not always there

You kneel by the graveside
With songs for lost souls
I heard you were digging
A deep, black hole

While in contemplation
Inside, you shivered and groaned
Your knees turned to water
Your face was the colour of bones

Jesus Loves Jesus Saves
But where is your Sweet Jesus today?
Jesus Loves Jesus Saves
But where is your Sweet Jesus today?

Stretched out on your altar
As cold as church stone
The crimson robe of your passion
Worn out and looking old

Forgotten cups of tea and orange skins
Eaten-words and screwed up days
You hide in your bed
Waiting to be saved

Jesus Loves Jesus Saves
But where is your Sweet Jesus today?
Jesus Loves Jesus Saves
But where is your Sweet Jesus today?

On this long road, on this long road
Amazed that Grace didn't touch you
Burn your heart, inflame your soul
No blue light, no angels
No key to that magic door

Ah, you were such a crazy cunt
You overdosed on your desire
Have you come to haunt me
And tell me I'm a liar

His black hand
On my white belly
And I can’t even pronounce his name

The saxophone
Keeps on playing
Origami birds fly above my head

I’m 15
And I miss home
But only happy letters get across the sea

If not your eyes
That saw it all
I could easily pretend it was just a dream

Dear Anna,
It’s good you don’t keep in touch,
How would we talk about it now?

Will you kill me as you’re leaving
Erase my name, erase my face
Take your sins and dreams somewhere else
And bury our love in a secret place

Will you burn down your life
To start all over again
Throw away my favorite dress
The one that’s hidden in your suitcase

You turn red wine into sweet blood
You put me under your spell
Under the moonlight life was so intoxicating
This is the death of a love to foretell

You watched our love shyly, slowly
Fade in my impatient eyes
Felt you go from hot to cold
Yet the sweetness of this sadness cannot be denied

Your smile lingers briefly
Your final declaration without a tear
And suddenly we become memories
Of people who are no longer here

It’s such a shame I’ve met you
Now, when it’s all too late
Everything I had to give
I’ve already given away.
My heart is gone. My body’s gone
It’s just the ghost you see
The ghost of someone you would like
Someone I used to be

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
That wasn’t played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray.
I’ve played it down to the bone

In your eyes there’s a hunger
I cannot satisfy
I’ll never become your mistress
I’ve been everyone else’s wife
My heart is gone. My body’s gone
I traded them so low
Just for a few drops of passion
Just for some scraps of love

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
That wasn’t played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray.
I’ve played it down to the bone

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
I hope you understand
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray
It’s such a shame I’ve met you
Now, when it’s all too late
If only I never met you
I wouldn’t mind the waste.

The sun came crashing in onto the floor
When I look at you I want more
She threw blanket over me
Cause she thought I was looking cold
You never know who you’ve got
Till they’ve gone

An angel came down bearing a light
To illuminate her one-way flight
She had to change my station
It seems that something wasn’t right
You never know who you’ve got
Till they’ve gone

It was dark when I opened my eyes
Felt an exhausted presence by my side
I don’t know where she came from
I got up and closed my window tight
You never know who you’ve got
Till they’ve gone

Tell me, tell me what you see
When you close your amber eyes
When the sparkle fades away
And what remains of you is just a child

Tell me, tell me what you miss
When you melt in my embrace
When your sky explodes so bright
And all the cracks within reveal themselves

You only are to me
What I can make of you
From day to day I chase
An ever changing view.

Tell me, tell me what it is
That you leave outside the door
When you come back late at night
Wearing touch - proof skin beneath your coat

You're a star I want to catch
You're a ship I want to sink
But I only pass you by
And when I get too close you disappear

So tell me, tell me, tell me

I wanna be on the run with you
Sweaty car, sunglasses, light headed...
I wanna get so high

You drive me 'round town, through a neon blur
And I breath in your every word
A drug I've never tried

I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I want the diamond of your heart

Wrapped up in the black sheets
Your kisses sweet and deep
Exploring this fascination

Lost and found in this back street hotel
No one will ever tell...
My secret revelation

I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I want the diamond of your heart

I reach for you in the darkness, darling
And you shine your light through me
I can't believe how dead I’ve been

Don’t you see how easy it is
To get used to your silver lips
And your snaky, snaky hips

I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I don't dance
To the beat anymore
Down on love street...
I want the diamond of your heart

You felt that rocket of inspiration
That once again you could fly
Without fear, resurrected
Right across that great big sky
And every dream had rainbows at the red
Give or take one or two lost friends
It’s gonna hurt – it hurts

Words that soared and burnt your heart out
Now sound lifeless, empty and grey
And all your treasures that you brought out
You’re quickly packing them all away
Those flashing neon-lights are on the blink
And if it’s dark this tried swimmer just might sink
It’s gonna hurt – it hurts

That snow keeps on-a-falling
Just keeps on endlessly tumbling down
You’ve grown tired of yourself
Tired of this monochrome, soulless town
Maybe your love was a great big illusion
But it’s not me who has to convince you
It’s gonna hurt – it hurts

It’s Monday morning
The snow is still falling
No hope for spring today
We sit over coffee
When you say you don’t know me
No more after all these years

Maybe it’s true
I’ve been hiding from you
I’ve been running
Cause something in me
Tells me to keep
My own way

The devil is calling
I’ve got to get going
No smile on your pretty face
When I get black in the evening
You say that you’ve missed me
That lately I seem so strange

And maybe it’s true…etc.

Oh, oh – my own way

Life’s getting shorter
No sweet ever – after
The weather’s suddenly changed
There are storms and lightening
The damage is frightening
So we look for a fire escape

And maybe it’s true
I’ve been hiding from you
I’ve been running
But something inside
Tells me we’ll find
Our own way

Nail the stars across that wooden sky
Cover that crystal ball, that bloodshot eye
Let the last out turn off the light
But don’t lock the door, there’s someone still inside
A silly bride for a silly day
The guests they came
The guests they went away

What are we missing
What are we missing
Whose memories are we kissing
From our soul to your fingertips

Melt down that key to your broken heart
They never gave you a chance to even start
Too much sadness and your shadow will die
Hang out your tears to let them dry

She’s on fire but got frozen lips
The life she could have would never fit
She walks through the forest singing nursery rhymes
All the leaves on the trees whisper – “once upon a time”

I’ve been watching you for some time
Your handshake’s weak
And you only smile
In the moments when
Everybody else is crying

You consider life as a threat
So you watch TV
For a quick escape
But everything you see
Leaves you with no need for trying

And it’s like waiting for a thief
With your door right open.
Hoping everything’s gonna get stolen

There’s no limit to your complains
Nothing’s good enough
To make your day
All the stars are stuck
Against your luck, you’re helpless

The world is spinning too fast for you
There’re million things
You’d like to do
The time is never right
So you put it all down for later

And it’s like waiting for a thief
With your door right open.
Hoping everything’s gonna get stolen
Then maybe, just maybe
You’ll be free

See, I’ve been watching you for some time
Your handshake’s weak
It’s just like mine
Only difference that
I’m better at pretending…

I've got no glass
To raise to my lips
Got nothing to celebrate
Got no time to sit
With you, my friend
Oh, it's getting too late

And if I don't keep on moving
I feel the earth slip beneath my feet
And if my eyes aren't wide open
I might fall into an endless sleep

I wear scars
On my body, in my mind
They remind me
Of who I am
Got no place
To call my home
I live where I stand

But if I don't keep on trying
I feel my heart just might stand still
And all those stories that kept us warm
Now push me out into that lonely chill

There's always one more step to take
One more move to make
Life will always ache
It only lasts for one day

There's always one more step to take
One more move to make
Life will always ache
It only lasts for one day

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street

Those were the reasons and that was New York
We were running for the money and the flesh
And that was called love for the workers in song
Probably still is for those of them left

Ah but you got away, didn't you babe
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception

And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
We are ugly but we have the music"

And you got away, didn't you babe,
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don't even think of you that often

It’s such a shame I’ve met you
Now, when it’s all too late
Everything I had to give
I’ve already given away.
My heart is gone. My body’s gone
It’s just the ghost you see
The ghost of someone you would like
Someone I used to be

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
That wasn’t played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray.
I’ve played it down to the bone

In your eyes there’s a hunger
I cannot satisfy
I’ll never become your mistress
I’ve been everyone else’s wife
My heart is gone. My body’s gone
I traded them so low
Just for a few drops of passion
Just for some scraps of love

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
That wasn’t played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray.
I’ve played it down to the bone

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
I hope you understand
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray
It’s such a shame I’ve met you
Now, when it’s all too late
If only I never met you
I wouldn’t mind the waste.

I’m not around
To turn off your light
Find you in the dark
And kiss you goodnight

I’m not around
To feed you with hope
And hold you tight
When your world goes cold

Time is time is time
an explosion of memories
I want you to know
You mean everything to me

And everything you do
I’m doing it with you
And everywhere you go
I’m there for you…

I’m not around
To see that smile on your face
To be there every day
Hear what you’ve got to say

I’m not around
When you get back alone
Break down and cry
Because I’ve left home

Time is time is time
An explosion of memories
I want you to know
You mean everything to me

You’re not around
To turn off my light
And I’m not around
To kiss you goodnight…

On the 7th day – magic gets a curse
On the 8th day – who’s going to give in first
On the 9th day – bags already packed
On the 10th day – no one’s ever coming back
Ain't coming back

Some relationships – they just fall sick
Being Master, then Servant – supplicate, then resist
A change of mood and look – can bring it to its knees
Cut it down – like an incurable disease

Oh, your kisses
Sweet as whiskey on ice
Your tender body
Soft as candlelight

You’re my flame, flame for life
You’re my flame, flame for life

The 1st problem – we didn’t even care
The 15th problem – there's something in the air
The 62nd problem – we didn’t speak to each other all day
The millionth problem – we went our separate ways

Still got your number – on my mobile phone
And some of your habits – when I’m all alone
I smoke too much, I drink too much, I think too much – every night
You’re my flame – my flame for life

You’re my flame, flame for life
You’re my flame, flame for life

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

She’s sipping a cappuccino
Like a cat sipping out of a bowl
He’s black espresso
To start his heart when it gets cold

He’s thinking ‘cognac’
But afraid his hands might shake
She’s checking her make-up
Her smile’s giving nothing away

You better kill me before I kill you
You look good in black
Who’ll pay the bill and keep on walking
Will get a hole in your back

Two faded tourists
Their visas have long expired
Two forgotten journalists
Whose headlines have retired

What’s that in his pocket?
They ain’t Chinese banknotes
What’s that in her handbag?
That’s no bar of gold.

You better kill me before l kill you
You look good in black
Who'll pay the bill and keep on walking
Will get a hole in their back

Two suntanned lovers
Love didn’t die, it just went dry
Fading into the sunlight
Those bones of love passing by

She’s sipping a cappuccino
Like a cat sipping out of a bowl
He’s black espresso
To start his heart from going cold

He’s thinking ‘cognac’
But afraid his hands might shake
She’s checking her make-up
Her smile’s giving nothing away

You better kill me before I kill you
You look good in black
Who’ll pay the bill and keep on walking
Will get a hole in your back

Two faded tourists
Their visas have long expired
Two forgotten journalists
Whose headlines have retired

What’s that in his pocket?
They ain’t Chinese banknotes
What’s that in her handbag?
That’s no bar of gold.

You better kill me before l kill you
You look good in black
Who'll pay the bill and keep on walking
Will get a hole in their back

Two suntanned lovers
Love didn’t die, it just went dry
Fading into the sunlight
Those bones of love passing by

You couldn’t resist the fast lane
You had to go and get yourself a name
And people wear empty stares
No one to worry about you, no one to care

The city is blue – the city is deep
Your hands are cold and you can’t sleep
You sit on the roof to see the sky
But only little girls know how to fly

You’d better:
Hold on, hold on to your heart
Hold on, hold on to your heart
Hold on, hold on to your heart
Hold on, hold on to your

Your whole life swimming in your head
Your nervous body twitching in your bed
You’re living on hope, on overtime
There’s always going to be a sentence
For every crime


Hold on, hold on to your heart… etc.

You are one – you are you
Your visions keep out the view
Silver glass above your head
Just remember what she said

She said:
Hold on, hold on to your heart… etc.

Will you kill me as you’re leaving
Erase my name, erase my face
Take your sins and dreams somewhere else
And bury our love in a secret place

Will you burn down your life
To start all over again
Throw away my favorite dress
The one that’s hidden in your suitcase

You turn red wine into sweet blood
You put me under your spell
Under the moonlight life was so intoxicating
This is the death of a love to foretell

You watched our love shyly, slowly
Fade in my impatient eyes
Felt you go from hot to cold
Yet the sweetness of this sadness cannot be denied

Your smile lingers briefly
Your final declaration without a tear
And suddenly we become memories
Of people who are no longer here

It’s such a shame I’ve met you
Now, when it’s all too late
Everything I had to give
I’ve already given away.
My heart is gone. My body’s gone
It’s just the ghost you see
The ghost of someone you would like
Someone I used to be

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
That wasn’t played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray.
I’ve played it down to the bone

In your eyes there’s a hunger
I cannot satisfy
I’ll never become your mistress
I’ve been everyone else’s wife
My heart is gone. My body’s gone
I traded them so low
Just for a few drops of passion
Just for some scraps of love

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
That wasn’t played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray.
I’ve played it down to the bone

So, take this song
It’s all I’ve got
I hope you understand
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray
It’s such a shame I’ve met you
Now, when it’s all too late
If only I never met you
I wouldn’t mind the waste.
