I was once your lover then you became something else

Oh my God, I thought I knew you well

You handed me a long blade and on that blade I fell

Found myself crying to you for help

And you said, "Don't move, don't move," and I said

"I won't move, won't move a muscle"

You had me climb a ladder down to the center of the Earth

You said, "Bring everything that you feel's of worth"

And then you piled it up beside me and broke into a smile

Watching me watching it catching fire

And you said, "Don't move, don't move," and I said

"Oh, I won't move, won't move a muscle"

All I've ever done is run away

Ever since that night I cursed your name

Now I see all my running was done in vain

I looked at all the embers and an emptiness arose

You said, "Stand there in the center of the coals"

And my feet began to burn up on all the things that I'd once owned

And I remember begging you to let me go

And you said, "Don't move, don't move," and I said

"I won't move, won't move a muscle"

Oh, you said, "Don't move, don't move," and I said

"Oh, I won't move, won't move a muscle"
