How many torments
I’ve had in my time?
Was looking for love
By i was too blind
I stepped in the circle
To play out the game
But all that i offered
Just turned out the same
A little bit more a little bit less
Deeper in love and deeper in debt
I look at the stars that i cannot give
Without some feeling i just can’t live
Wake and remember that no one is blessed
Now i know the truth
Is dead and laid to rest
No sound but a river
That run’s from my heart
It flows from a mountain
Then tears me apart
Will there come a season
That i will not weep?
I prayed like you wanted
But it all felt too cheap
A little bit more a little bit less
Deeper in love and deeper in debt
I look at the stars that i cannot give
Without some feeling i just can’t live
Wake and remember that no one is blessed
Now i know the truth
Is dead and laid to rest
Sometimes i am frightened alone in the dark
You know i can’t hide it,
I’ve been waiting until the hurting starts
A little bit more a little bit less
Deeper in love and deeper in debt
I look at the stars that i cannot give
Without some feeling i just can’t live
Wake and remember that no one is blessed
Now i know the truth
Is dead and laid to res
