I've always been on the outside Looking in through a window or a door And if I could have anything It would be a connection, or some humanity I feel like a stranger In my own skin and bones Don't hurt me, don't desert me Don't let me go Sometimes I feel like I'm barely hanging on Don't let me go, stay with me until the dawn Don't let me go I've always been in the distance A figure vague, undetected, ill-defined But can't you see you give me definition? Can't you see with you I'm somewhere, Someone, or something real? Sometimes I feel like I'm barely hanging on Don't let me go, stay with me until the dawn Sometimes I feel like I've been cursed by angry gods But I know I'm wrong because there's you Sometimes I feel like I'm barely hanging on (I've been hanging on) Don't let me go, stay with me until the dawn Sometimes I feel like I've been cursed by angry gods (I've been hanging on) But I know I'm wrong because there's you Don't hurt me, don't desert me In my own darkest hour Don't hurt me, don't desert me Don't let me, don't let me go
