Downwards we operate
And I go all to pieces
For just once you imitate someone who is loving,
and I am scared of you
Always you come around
saying that you're sorry
Take away this awful sound
that I cannot belong to
So now I'm through with you

And we owe this to ourselves
To say what we really mean
Honestly, I can't see how this could end happily
I can run to no one else,
and I can't stand the thought of this
The ground beneath me breaking,
and I'm falling helpless

Touching to make it work
When we know this is useless
We're holding back for fear of hurt
We were making no sense,
cause I'm no good for you
All we need are wounds we can mend
for the chance that we can pretend again
All you need is to see an end,
to tell me we can make the world turn again

And we owe this to ourselves
to say what we really mean
Honestly, I can't see how this could end happily
I can run to no one else,
and I can't stand the thought of this
The ground beneath me breaking,
and I'm falling helpless
