Lyrics

There's nothing wrong with me,
There's nothing wrong at all.
I took you in and loved you
And there the poison grew
I tried to suffocate it
I couldn't fight it off
The strength just slipped away from me

Darling, in the worst of things
You never complained
Curtains closed, you fed me
like a burning flame.
Till the night runs empty,
I'll love you always.

Then you leave me here
To fight another day
Face the hunger
To fight another day
And I'll start gearing up
To fight another day

Tried to get away from you,
I tried to start again.
The tethered lines that kept me here
were slipping free again.
You tried to hold them tight,
but things began to fray
with thoughts towards tomorrow...
Darling, in the worst of things
You never complained
Curtains closed, you fed me
like a burning flame.
Till the night runs empty,
I'll love you always.

Then you leave me here
To fight another day
Face the hunger
To fight another day
And I'll start gearing up
To fight another day

Take the keys and leave me till the morning light
Hurry home my darling don't you dare look back
Cos I won't hesitate if you're still by my side.
Full moon calls and I can't look away tonight
Inward looks the damned towards his tattered soul
People they don't know me they don't understand
Leave me here until I find myself again
Cos in this moment I might do near anything

Darling, in the worst of things
You never complained
Curtains closed, you fed me
like a burning flame.
Till the night runs empty,
I'll love you always.

Then you leave me here
To fight another day
Face the hunger
To fight another day
And I'll start gearing up
To fight another day
