If you come to close

While I'm sleeping

Or host of a nightmare

Don't feed me the blame

You're there every night in my head

Right in my sight as I cut the skin

And lead you to shame

As we hold and make love

I slip on a glove

So I won't stain my hands

As I take you away

When I focus my brain

I see you in vain

I see you bathing in red

And I can't believe

Your killer is me

And I hit my knees

And start to cry

I keep running and hiding and crying

And falling and trying to get away

Screaming and yelling and calling for help

As you die in my arms once again

As I wake in a sweat

Thank God it hasn't happened yet

And I run to you

But you got to close

When I focus my brain

I see you in pain

I see you bathing in red

And I can't believe

Your killer is me

And I hit my knees

And start to cry

I keep running and hiding and crying

And falling and trying to get away

Screaming and yelling and calling for help

As you die in my arms once again

I keep running and hiding and crying

And falling and trying to get away

Screaming and yelling and calling for help

As your running and hiding

And trying to get away

Screaming and yelling and calling for help

As you die in my arms once again
