[Intro: ]C# D# C# D# C# D# Fm
C# D#
Standing on the edge of time
C# D#
Playing out a reckless pantomime
C# D# Fm
And every day's another wrong to rectify
C# D#
I dream about a stranger's touch
C# D# C#
And voices in my head I cannot hush
D# Fm
And every night's a hunger I can't satisfy
C# D#
It's the secret that I keep
C# D#
It's the ache that makes me weep
C# D#
And I know I'm in too deep
Fm
I'm gonna drown
C# D#
It's the emptiness I fear
C# D#
Baby, please don't leave me here

'Cause I'm lost inside a dream
Fm C# Fm C# Fm C#
That's out of bounds
C# D#
I close my eyes and it's so real
C# D#
And all at once I know just what I feel
C# D# Fm
And baby it's the kind of rush that terrifies
C# D#
I am weak - I am wrong
C# D#
And every day I swear that I'll be strong
C# D# Fm
But there's a bond between us that I can't deny
C# D#
It's the secret that I keep
C# D#
It's the ache that makes me weep
