Please, your sympathy’s not what I crave Nor judgement on how I behave Or to wake up beside you today Try as I do to let somebody in Well I never know where to begin It’s just a sweet word and onto the next thing
But whenever I hear your name A mist comes down over my eyes The burden of hiding my shame It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies And what can I say, if confession won’t send them away? These demons inside are refusing to die I hope against hope but they stay
And I’ll disprove all that you’ve heard The shortcomings of all their long words Chattering of little birds Now hormonal suppression kicks in And I’m lost in the scent of your skin And it hits like a left to the chin
But whenever truth starts to ring A mist comes down over my eyes The pain and the guilt that it brings Loses faith in its host and then dies, then it dies
But whenever I hear your name A mist comes down over my eyes The burden of hiding my shame It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies And what can I say, if confession won’t send them away? These demons inside are refusing to die I hope against hope but they stay
