the world is sleeping
as I lie here wide awake
so many sleepless nights I've spent with you
lying here for your sake
I'll lie here undercover
cold as you sweat to death
you wrap your arms around and hold me
but I'll just hold this cigarette
and you say
please don't go changin'
but I couldn't if I tried
let's go back to basics
you and I
I wanna tear you apart
come on take it slow
show it to me in the dark
I wanna tear you apart
come on baby go and break my heart
your world has ended
mine unaffected remains the same
you needed me while you were hurting
but I just needed space
we'll lie here together
a warm body to embrace
you look me in the eyes and say you love me
I'll just smile and turn away
and you say
please don't go changin'
but I couldn't if I tried
let's go back to basics
you and I
I wanna tear you apart
come on take it slow
show it to me in the dark
I wanna tear you apart
come on baby go and break my heart
