It's under my skin but out of my hands (Tears for Fears - Womain in Chains, 1992)
Am I the only onewishing life away?Never caught up in the momentbusy begging the past to stayMemories painted with much brighter ink;they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
For mankind you've made your wintry bed.A shipwreck of your own mortality
I'll be so quiet for you. Look like a child for you. Be like a shadow of a shadow Of a shadow for you.
You say: 'Oh, please forgive'You say: 'Oh, live and let live.'But sorry doesn't help us.Sorry will not save us.Sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway).Sorry doesn't help us...
I have forgiven Jesus for all of the love he placed in me, when there's no one I can turn to with this love.
With no reason to hide these words I feel, and no reason to talk about the books I read, but still, I do.

I will never let you fallI'll stand up with you foreverI'll be there for you through it allEven if saving you sends me to heaven
There's so much destruction all over the world - and all you can do is complain about ME!
