Lyrics
[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 travel east and north
But please answer the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you tell me?
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you tell me
[Chorus]
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
I try but can't let it 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 the train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
