Darling stop confusing me With your wishful thinking Hopeful embraces Don′t you understand? I have to go through this I belong to here where No-one cares and no-one loves No light no air to live in A place called hate The city of fear I play dead It stops the hurting I play dead And the hurting stops It′s sometimes just like sleeping Curling up inside my private tortures I nestle into pain Hug suffering caress every ache I play dead, It stops the hurting
Darling, stop confusing me, With your wishful thinking. Hopeful embraces, Don’t you understand? I have to go through this, I belong to here where no-one cares, And no-one loves. No light no air to live in, A place called hate, The city of fear.
I play dead, It stops the hurting. I play dead, And the hurting stops.
It’s sometimes just like sleeping, Curling up inside my private tortures. I nestle into pain, Hug suffering, Caress every ache
And boys are so cold They speak without meaning The only time they talk is in their sleep And girls are a bore Their touch without feeling Their secrets always far too grim to keep And up until now You′ve lived in their shadows trying hard to please them But they′ll never change As long as there breathing
Thinking hurts and thoughts don′t rhyme To those of us who′ve never tried To find a face behind our lipstick smiles And as our pretty faces die Our broken hearts will wonder why The make-up just won′t hide the scars of time
And boys are so cruel So don′t let them find you tonight And girls are so vain So put them behind you tonight I′ll cast you a spell A magic where everyone plays dead forever And after tonight they′ll never remind you
Thinking hurts And thoughts don′t rhyme To those of us who′ve never tried To find a face behind our lipstick smiles And as our pretty faces die Our broken hearts will wonder why The make-up just won′t hide the scars of time
A moth into a butterfly And a lie into the sweetest truth I′m so afraid of life
I try To call your name but I′m Silenced by the fear of dying in your heart once again
I see the seasons changing And in the heart of this autumn I fall With the leaves from the trees
I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away
I cry Like god cries the rain And I′m just one step away From the end of today
I see the reasons changing And in the warmth of the past I crawl Scorched by the shame
I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away And I stay dead Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate Before it′s too late Before it′s too late
I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away I stay dead Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away Before it′s too late
Darling stop confusing me With your wishful thinking Hopeful embraces Don′t you understand? I have to go through this I belong to here, where No one cares and no one loves No light no air to live in A place called hate The city of fear
I play dead It stops the hurting I play dead And hurting stops
It′s sometimes just like sleeping Curling up inside my private tortures I nestle into pain Hug suffering Caress ever ache
