Lyrics
Lay beside me, tell me what they’ve done Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run The door is locked now but it’s opened if you’re true If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you Lay beside me, under wicked skies Through black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze The door cracks open but there’s no sun shining through Black heart scarring darker still, but there’s no sun shining through No, there’s no sun shining through No, there’s no sun shining What I’ve felt, what I’ve known Turn the pages, turn the stone Behind the door, should I open it for you? What I’ve felt, what I’ve known Sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there, ‘cause I’m the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven, too? Come lay beside me, this won’t hurt, I swear She loves me not, she loves me still, but she’ll never love again She lay beside me but she’ll be there when I’m gone Black heart scarring darker still, yes, she’ll be there when I’m gone Yes, she’ll be there when I’m gone Dead sure she’ll be there What I’ve felt, what I’ve known Turn the pages, turn to stone Behind the door, should I open it for you? What I’ve felt, what I’ve known Sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there, ‘cause I’m the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven, too? Lay beside me, tell me what I’ve done The door is closed, so are your eyes But now I see the sun, now I see the sun Yes, now I see it What I’ve felt, what I’ve known Turn the pages, turn the stone Behind the door, should I open it for you? What I’ve felt, what I’ve known Sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there? ‘cause I’m the one who waits The one who waits for you I take this key And I bury it in you Because you’re unforgiven, too Never free Never me ‘Cause you’re unforgiven, too © 1997 Creeping Death Music (Global Music Rights)
