lyrics

You spent so many years fighting your belief that you did not need me.
Did you hold back any tears knowing my relief that you could not bleed me any more?

Is it too late to take the darkness from your soul, even though you had the spirit, you just wanted to control?

It doesn't work like that, you're a slave to your past, it doesn't work like that, you've got to give it up and fast - it doesn't work, no, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't work, no it doesn't work.

I spent so many years trying to be real but you always hurt me. Yes you did.
Was this suffering for love something you can't feel, so you just desert me?

Is it too late to take the darkness from your soul, even though you had the spirit, you just wanted to control?

It doesn't work like that, you're a slave to your past, it doesn't work like that, you've got to give it up and fast - it doesn't work, no, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't work, no it doesn't work.
