Send me down the river, won't you babe
I was made of pretty things
Before you came to taint it
Hide away just so it doesn't rain
Hold on tight and so might I
To soften all your pain
No I didn't mind what you saw
In the light, score after score
But I don't know you anymore
Through man your beast is showing
Through gritted teeth I'm glowing
From a bad dream to the floor
When my love don't speak your language
When hearts can never be candid
Now I'm scared to step foot in this house
Remove my shoes and make sure that
I'm quiet as a mouse
I run away and in my dreams I find
Your reasons and the secrecy
Were all just in my mind
But I fought for us, you were blind to see
I held that sword for you and me
But I don't know you anymore
Through man your beast is showing
Through gritted teeth I'm glowing
From a bad dream to the floor
When my love don't speak your language
When hearts can never be candid
Never be candid, never be candid, never be candid
Never be
Never be candid, never be candid, never be candid
Never be
But I don't know you anymore
Through man your beast is showing
Through gritted teeth I'm glowing
From a bad dream to the floor
When my love don't speak your language
When hearts can never be candid
(Never be candid, never be candid, never be candid)
