Of Want and Misery: The Nothing That Kills

I watched you float away on a wave of want and misery

now I've got to find you

I watched you float away on whatever caught your eye

now I've got to find you

'cause I've got to keep your head above the water

while the current pulls me under

I will hang my life in the space between the noose and your neck

I won't let you die just yet

I will love you even when you won't let me

and you will kill me by doing nothing

but I know it's not you, my dear,

I know it's not you

I know it's not you, my dear,

it's the nothing that kills

I can't save you

control is something out of mine

no, I can't save you

control is something out of my control

I can't save you but I will love you

no, I can't save you but I will love you

I'd like to think that this is love

lost in second chances without end

this is romance
