I've been running away from my love
I would take a straight razor
and shape my own self.
I would hide in a basement, while cutting
skin-leather-straps
put across all my weakening chest
==Refrain:
(but)I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Desperate, I yearn for you
and I will be with you
somewhere, in a white ceiling room
with a right for a hope.
Room with a view. City lights.
Believing in love.

Your name was replaced
A long time ago
your beautiful eyes lost all their light.
Drunken doctor just told me-
you died, you'd been gone.
The fireman signed off the form -
your apartment burned down.
=refrain=
then I broke the glass
with my bare hands.
to cut all my fingers because
they could not touch your skin;
looked at all those faces,
and couldn't forgive
any of them: they could live,
even though you were gone
=refrain=
