Bury all your secrets in my skin 00:19
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins 00:27
The air around me still feels like a cage 00:34
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again 00:42
00:51
So, if you love me, let me go 01:04
And run away before I know 01:08
My heart is just too dark to care 01:12
I can't destroy what isn't there 01:15
Deliver me into my fate 01:19
If I'm alone I cannot hate 01:23
I don't deserve to have you 01:27
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago 01:32
If I can change I hope I never know 01:34
01:38
I still press your letters to my lips 01:52
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss 02:00
I couldn't face a life without your light (without your light) 02:07
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight 02:15
So, save your breath, I will not hear 02:21
I think I made it very clear 02:25
You couldn't hate enough to love 02:29
Is that supposed to be enough? 02:33
I only wish you weren't my friend 02:37
Then I could hurt you in the end 02:41
I never claimed to be a saint 02:44
Ooh, my own was banished long ago 02:49
It took the death of hope to let you go 02:52
02:55
Oh, oh 03:08
03:10
So, break yourself against my stones 03:23
And spit your pity in my soul 03:27
You never needed any help 03:31
You sold me out to save yourself 03:35
And I won't listen to your shame 03:39
You ran away, you're all the same 03:43
Angels lie to keep control 03:47
Ooh, my love was punished long ago 03:51

[English]
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
...
So, if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
...
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light (without your light)
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So, save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
...
Oh, oh
...
So, break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
If you still care, don't ever let me know
...
