[Verse 1:]

A youth sixteen, her head filled with dreams, a loving family, it seems
Dear God save me, I've lost my way home, direction unknown, to me

[Chorus:]

Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
I've gone away, and I don't need your sympathy

[Verse 2:]

Thank you kindly, being there for me, through eternity, softly
Dear God help me, I bid you farewell, it's the end for me, finally

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

You make me feel like I'm really alive
I'll still be with you, after I've died

Now is the time, you've been given the signs
So I confide, to just leave the world behind

You make me feel like I'm really alive
I'll still be with you, after I've died

I fell behind, tried to run and hide
So I confide, to just leave the world behind

[Chorus 2:]
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
Put me away in your mental publicity
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
I've gone away, and I don't need your sympathy
Lift me up, Lift me up, and save me
I'm here to stay, I'm a simple complexity
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
I've gone away, and I don't need your sympathy
