(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
If you were a baby I would take you and run
I could hide you in the folds of my heart
Theres a truth in the madness that I cant get beyond
And a fever that wont leave me alone
I dont want my heart
Dont want my head
Dont want my friends
Dont want my bed
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I try to want you
But I cant get beyond you
I will stare from the window
At the shapes in the rain
As the space between us drives me insane
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I want no one else
If I was a child
I would reuse to leave
I would sit down on the street
Kick my legs and scream
Im not much of a man but I know how I am
I know this wont fade away
I will pretend and be strong
But I wonder where I belong
And the feeling comes in waves
A hole in my body.. aching
Like a heart dying
A soul crying
Exhausted and insecure
Took all you have and I still want more
And I reach out to hold you,
But all I do is hurt you,
Hurt you
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I try to want to
But I cant get beyond you
If I was a child
I would take you and run
And I say I dont know...
But I know
And I say Ill go, but I dont let go
You just spent the whole day
Driving away
