      I really don`t know what i`m doing here
      I really think i should`ve gone to bed tonight but...
      Just one drink
      And there`re some people to meet you
      I think that you`ll like them
      I have to say we do
      And i promise in less than an hour we will honestly go
      Now why don`t i just get you another
      While you just say hello...

      Yeah just say hello...

      So i`m clutching it tight
      Another glass in my hand
      And my mouth and the smiles
      Moving up as i stand up
      Too close and too wide
      And the smiles are too bright
      And i breathe in too deep
      And my head`s getting light
      But the air is getting heavier and it`s closer
      And i`m starting to sway
      And the hands all on my shoulders don`t have names
      And they won`t go away
      So here i go
      Here i go again...

      Falling into starngers
      And it`s only just eleven
      And i`m staring like a child
      Until someone slips me heaven
      And i take it on my kness
      Just like a thousand times before
      And i get transfixed
      That fixed
      And i`m just looking at the floor
      Just looking at the floor
      Yeah i look at the floor



      And i'm  staring to laugh
      Like an animal in pain
      And i`ve got blood on my hands
      And i`ve got hands in my brain
      And the first shot retch
      Leaves me gasping for more
      And i stagger over screaming
      On my way to the floor
      And i`m back on my back
      With the lights and the lies in my eyes
      And the colour and the music`s too loud
      And my head`s all the wrong size
      So here i go
      Here i go again...

      Yeah i laugh and i jump
      And i sing and i laugh
      And i dance and i laugh
      And i laugh and i laugh
      And i can`t seem to think
      Where this is
      Who i am
      Why i`m keeping this doing
      Keep pouring it out
      Keep pouring it down
      Keeping it going
      Keep pouring it down
      And the way the rain comes down hard
      That`s the way i feel inside...

      I can`t take it anymore
      This it i`ve become
      This is it like i get
      When my life`s going numb
      I just keep moving my mouth
      I just keep moving my feet
      I say i`m loving you to death
      Like i`m losing my breath
      And all the smiles that i wear
      And all the games that i play
      And all the drinks that i mix
      And i drink until i`m sick
      And all the faces i make
      And all the shapes that i throw
      And all the people i meet
      And all the words that i know
      Makes me sick to the heart
      Oh i feel so tired...

      And the way the rain comes down hard
      That`s how i feel inside...

      Every time we do this
      I fall for her
      Wave after wave after wave
      It`s all for her

      From the edge of the deep green sea
      And she listens like her head`s on fire
      Like she wants to believe in me
      So i try
      'Put your hands in the sky
      Surrender
      Remember
      We`ll be here forever
      And we`ll never say goodbye...'

      Not just for today
      'Never never never never never let me go' she says
      'Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days'
      But suddenly she slows
      And looks down at my breaking face
      'Why do you cry? what did i say?'
      'But it`s just rain' i smile
      Brushing my tears away...



      I wish i could just stop
      I know another moment will break my heart
      Too many tears
      Too many times

      How much more can we use it up?
      Drink it dry?
      Take this drug?
      Looking for something forever gone
      But something
      We will always want?

      'Why why why are you letting me go?' she says
      'I feel you pulling back
      I feel you changing shape...'
      And just as i`m breaking free
      She hangs herself in front of me
      Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
      And hands in the sky
      Surrenders it all...

      I wish i could just stop
      I know another moment will break my heart
      Too many tears

      Head in pain
      Hung in shame

      Same old game

      Please stop loving me
      Please stop loving me
      I am none of these things

      I think i`ve reached that point
      Where all the things you have to say
      And hopes for something more from me
      Are just games to pass the time away

      Please stop loving me
      Please stop loving me
      II am none of these things

      I think i`ve reached that point
      Where every word that you write
      Of every blood dark sea
      And every soul black night
      And every dream you dream me in
      And every perfect free from sin
      And burning eyes
      And hearts on fire
      Are just the same old song

      Please stop loving me
      Please stop loving me
      I am none of these things
      I am none of these things

      I am none of these things
