Lyrics
Do you know me?
We were once very close
I guess things like this happen
But I will not forget
You look the same
Though it's been many years
I see you every night
and cry when I awake
Funny, you seem so normal
But I know better
Do you know who I am?
Shhh....it's okay
It'll all be over soon
You have been inside of me
Now I'm inside of you
Oh, how sweet it is.
Wipe away your tears
'cause pain isn't real
I will show you a secret place
Where angels play
Where angels play
