You did this to me In a siege both soft and slow The venom now runs deep And the rivers overflow You did this to me At the ruin of the day I still recall the scene You wore green and I wore grey You did this to me Lifted the veil off your intent Revealed the hole hidden beneath Down and down it went You did this to me As the leaves began to fall Exposed your heart and all its teeth While shadows dripped from every wall We returned to a world of corners On a sea without a tide Always trying to go forwards But only ever moving side to side And down in the froth and foam Where we began to sink I dreamed you'd been sculpted out of precious stone While I was merely pen and ink You did this to me As the mad studied the sane In all their grim varieties Their endless shapes and shades You did this to me Yeah you did this to me You did this to me Yeah you

Can you care too much? You say it depends. If I poured all the world's love into your cup Would you ever say 'when'? All this disarray: Well it's okay. Lay these things down on me The dawn once shone on our happiness. You rose early each morning to tie the frail fastenings of fondness While I lay and slept. You and I We'll get by So lay these things down on me You warmed me But seldom like the sun. It came closer to a cold kiss on a warm night In a building that's burning down. Me and you: We ain't got a clue So lay these things down on me Take a long hard look at me now Take a long hard look at me now Take a long hard look at me now And I'll be the last thing you see Before I turn out the light.
