lyrics

I was running from the shadows when I saw you cast two.
The more you give me, the more I've got to lose.
Foes and friends differ in their forms of attack:
One goes straight for your heart while the other stabs you in the back.

I'm heading for a fall but you can still grab a lift,
Our love may have died but it hasn't yet gone stiff,
We two have been through a dozen different hells,
Now it's an insult to the glory of your sickness to get well,
When you hide these things from me I can tell.

Time was still teething and fiends were fair-weather
Before we flew on wings made of skin and not feather,
There's no sense in crying before the milk has been spilt
So let's skip the deed darling
And go straight to the guilt.

Because the promises you etched on the water
Won't change when the rain comes and adds to the pool,
You may feel like a lamb led off to the slaughter
But don't tell me you're bleeding,
Don't tell me you're bleeding,
Don't tell me
Cos I'm bleeding too.

Now we're digging in shifts for the meagre elite
Who say life is God's gift but He's still holding the receipt.
We're all living in the place where ghosts come to die
So don't tell me you're bleeding,
Don't tell me you're bleeding,
Cos I know you're bleeding me dry.
