Lay beside me
Tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand me
Then I can understand you
Lay beside me
Under wicked sky
Through black of day
Dark of night
We share this paralyze
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there?
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me
This won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there?
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me
Tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun
Now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt
What I've known
So sick and tired
I stand alone
Could you be there?
'Cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
Oh
What I've felt
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Never free
Never me
'Cause you're unforgiven too
Oh
