I could hide you in the folds of my heart
There's a truth in the madness 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
   I 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
   Hole in my body, aching
   Like a heart dying
   Or a soul crying
   Exhausted and insecure
I took all you have and I still want more
And so I reach out to hold you
But all I do is 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 let go
But I don't let go
You just spent the whole day
Driving away
