lyrics
my heart, my heart was aching, aching for you
but I kept, I kept on dreaming, dreaming bout deep blue
and all that i've learnt about love is that love keeps it's guns loaded
and all that i've learnt about pain is that pain keeps it's arms open
No where, no where is better, better than this
so let me, let me fall back into emptiness
where all that i've learnt about love is that love keeps it's guns loaded
and all that i've learnt about pain is that pain keeps it's arms open, it's arms open, it's arms open
Oh I can't put my sword down, turn my back around, turn my back around
when I can't get these words out, turn me back around, turn me background
darling please
Won't you, won't you believe me, ease me away
from all that, all that I cling to, all that I let stay
and all that i've learnt about love is that love keeps it's guns loaded
and all that i've learnt about pain is that pain keeps it's arms open, it's arm open, it's arms open
Oh I can't put my sword down, turn my back around, turn my back around
when I can't get these words out, turn me back around, turn me background
Oh I can't put my sword down, turn my back around, turn my back around
when I can't get these words out, turn me back around, turn me background
darling please
