Lyrics

this is cold and dark, this place, you are broken, what will replace, the hole that has been dug here, emptiness left where, once i was so aware, aware of you, you are quiet, you are meek, unlike me so indiscreet, i am plainly alone, once you open up, you close, i fell, i'm winning, then i don't know, who you are, you came to me so battered and alone, you wondered how to go on, life is unforgiving, and you need to forgive, well look at me, your childhood friend, who's never had the trouble to be stepped on, i wish you'd see, that you can borrow me, so push me where you want, let in all the ghosts to haunt, i welcome such trouble, but what if things don't change, and you find yourself to blame, for all this alone, well i have listened to your silence, these walls are beaming with forgiveness, you are up and then you're down, but mostly you're somewhere in-between, you should be free, until then borrow me, borrow me, carry your troubles so heavy, over your heart and then through me, your mind's a separate matter, when your eyes are blind, i see, when your voice is swallowed, i speak free, and love you like i do, well i am not an angel, sent from heaven to save your soul, i am just a no good sinner, who loves you more than life, you could be free, wouldn't you rather borrow me?
