There’s no relief,
You haunt me in my dreams,
You’re following my every step,
I just can’t breathe.
I run and I hide,
Because I can’t bare your beautiful face,
That charming soul,
That tears down all my walls,
That I can’t help but to embrace.
I say I want you gone,
I say I can live without,
But the truth is that I’m lying,
Your body I need without a doubt.
Those arms I call safety,
Those lips that make me weak,
I’m trying to be strong,
But I will break – and it won’t be very long,
Before I give in to you – you’re never wrong.
Please stay with me,
Always be by my side,
You see – it’s because I love you,
That I need to run and hide.
If you were to ever leave me,
I couldn’t ever get back up again,
My life would be over,
And my heart – well it would never mend.
