[Verse 1]
GPlease baby can't you see, my mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me, that you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you
[Chorus]
AmGo on and hold her till the Dscreaming is DgoDsus4neD  
AmGo on believe her when she teDlls you nDothing'Dsus4s wronDg
GI'm the only one, who'll wFalk across the fire for yEmou
GI'm the only one, who'll dFrown in my desire for yEmou
AmIt's only fear that makes you run, the Cadd9demons that you're hiding from
When aFll your promises are Cadd9gone, I'm the only oGne...
[Verse 2]
GPlease baby can't you see, I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today
[Chorus]
AmGo on and hold her till the Dscreaming is DgoDsus4neD  
AmGo on believe her when she teDlls you nDothing'Dsus4s wronDg
