Verse 1

-

I'll say it straight and plain

I know I've made mistakes

I've always been afraid

I've always been afraid

A thousand nights or more

I travelled east and north

Please answer the door

Chorus

-

(Pause)

Can you tell me

You say that love goes anywhere

In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there

When you go, I'll let you be

But you're killing everything in me

Verse 2

-

Get down on your knees

Whisper what i need

Something pretty

Something pretty

I feel that when I'm old

I'll look at you and know

The world was beautiful

Chorus

-

(Pause)

Can you tell me

You say that love goes anywhere

In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there

When you go, I'll let you be

But you're killing everything in me

Bridge

-

I'm done, there's nothing left to show

Try but I can't let go

Are you happy where you're standing still?

Do you really want the sugar pill?

I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start

Tonight it feels so hard

As a train approaches, gare du nord

As I'm sure your kiss remains employed

Am I only dreaming?

Chorus

-

(Pause)

Can you tell me

You say that love goes anywhere

In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there

When you go, I'll let you be

But you're killing everything in me
