If you come to close
While I'm sleeping
Or host of a nightmare
Don't feed me the blame
You're there every night in my head
Right in my sight as I cut the skin
And lead you to shame
As we hold and make love
I slip on a glove
So I won't stain my hands
As I take you away
When I focus my brain
I see you in vain
I see you bathing in red
And I can't believe
Your killer is me
And I hit my knees
And start to cry
I keep running and hiding and crying
And falling and trying to get away
Screaming and yelling and calling for help
As you die in my arms once again
As I wake in a sweat
Thank God it hasn't happened yet
And I run to you
But you got to close
When I focus my brain
I see you in pain
I see you bathing in red
And I can't believe
Your killer is me
And I hit my knees
And start to cry
I keep running and hiding and crying
And falling and trying to get away
Screaming and yelling and calling for help
As you die in my arms once again
