lyrics

Waiting like a shadow in the corner of my little eye, I spy him.
Waiting like a lover who’s forgotten how to kiss and touch.
Here in his embrace I hear him whisper in my ear.
He asks me; baby, is it all too much?

Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
In the morning,
When you wear upon your head that crown.
In the evening,
When into yourself you dive and drown.
Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
To lay you down?

He takes me to the city, as we walk he puts his arm around my shoulder.
Takes me to the shop and anything I want to have he buys.
But I look in the mirror and today is not my colour,
can I maybe try tomorrow on for size?

Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
In the morning,
When you wear upon your head that crown.
In the evening,
When upon your face that heavy frown
Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
To lay you down.
To lay you down.
To lay you down.
To lay you down.

Are you my friend,
or are you just pretending that you care for me,
loneliness?
Are you for real,
or are you trying to steal the world away from me?
Oh loneliness.
Are you the one I need,
or are you leading me away from myself,
loneliness?
There is no other man who understands me like you do,
it’s true loneliness.
