When I'm down and out When I'm on my knees When I've been beaten to the ground Stand over me Watch me bleed

Always left untold What lies underneath While your hands so strong, yet cold Held me so tight I could not breathe

You're my ray of light darker than the night You're the tears I cry You're the cross and I'm the Christ

Like the others I will deny everything Every flaw and every sin How I need you Though I always knew That the dream will would never last I can not change the past In my nightmares I'm with you

There is no applause While this curtain falls We're hand in hand, we're side by side I am your groom and you're my bride

From your cold red lips I will drink the wine Just to feel alive I must learn to say goodbye
