Sometimes when the darkness loses its hold

I tread politely in the cold

Racking my brains

Pumping my veins

And taking the evening train from view

But you know I never wanted to

Ah, you know I did it just for you

And it's so easy to hurt me now

And you've forgotten anyhow

That certain ideas

Have changed through the years

I purchased some tears just to see me through

But you know I never wanted to

Ah, you know I did it just for you

One day I noticed the world at my feet

Next day comes and it rolls into the street

Gathering speed

Paying no heed

That made me bleed until I was blue

But you know I never wanted to

Ah, you know I did it just for you
