If you were a baby I would take you and run

I could hide you in the folds of my heart

There's a truth in the madness that I can't get beyond

And a fever that won't leave me alone



I don't want my heart

Don't want my head

Don't want my friends

Don't want my bed

I can't live with myself

I can't live with myself

Can't take no help

I try to want to

But I can't get beyond you



I will stare from the window

At the shapes in the rain

As the space between us drives me insane



I can't live with myself

I can't live with myself

Can't take no help

Don't want no one else



If I was a child

I would refuse to leave

I would sit down on the street

Kick my legs and scream



I'm not much of a man

But I know how I am

I know this won't fade away

I will pretend and be strong

But I wonder where I belong



And the feeling comes in waves

A hole in my body, aching

Like a heart dying

A soul crying

Exhausted and insecure

Took all you have and I still want more

So I reach out to hold you

But all I do is hurt you

Hurt you



I can't live with myself

I can't live with myself

Can't take no help

I try to want to

But I can't get beyond you



If I was a child I would take you and run

And I say I don't know... But I know

And I say I'll go



You just spent the whole day

Driving away
