I can't give you anything
Anything at all
Bless your head hold your hand
Hide the salt behind the wall

I'd lie for you I'd cry for you
I'd open every wound for you
I'd give you light I'd give you sight
I'd give it from myself

If I could give you alleluias from my soul I would
But the only thing I offer you is pain

I can't give you anything
Nothing that would stay
It's much too late to reinvent
The storybook lies anyway

I'd break the spell I'd make you well
I'd bleed the heavens dry for you
I'd give you light I'd give you sight
I'd give it from myself

If I could give you alleluias from my soul I would
But the only thing I offer you is pain
If I could give you alleluias then you know I would
So much in vain

Bring on the other world with its dances
Bring on the other world

I'd lie for you I'd die for you
I'd open every wound for you
I'd give you light I'd give you sight
I'd give it without pain

If I could give you alleluias from my soul I would
But the only thing I offer you is pain
If I could give you alleluias then you know I would
So much in vain
