Myself & I – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
A kingdom of dust
My eyes running dry
My throne gone to rust
You're lost in a fading light
I'm freezing tonight (without you near)
Under bottomless skies (dream you were here)
But I go on without you
Me, myself and I
Myself and I
To the ends of the earth
Ashes and dirt
Whatever it's worth
I'm searching for you
Heaven I'd move
All hell I'd walk through
I'd cross the line and back again for you
There's monsters at play
They're all in disguise
It's kill or be prey and I will fight
I'm freezing tonight (without you near)
Under bottomless skies (dream you were here)
But I go on without you
Me, myself and I
Myself and I
Myself and I
Myself and I
...
