Lyrics

She
The finest part of me
Has said goodbye and gone her way
Left
Within the arteries of my desire
A faint decay
She said
Who am I to play dead
Lay my hand on your head
Sympathise and sigh
She said you must fight the urge to die
She said please don't ask me how or why
She
The severed head of me
Without a tear has gone her way
Gone
A gap instead of she
Is all I have
Within my day
She said
You have been so well fed
Hell was born in your bed
Hunger now and cry
She said you must bite your tongue and hide
She said please don't ask me how or why
'Cause I don't know if or when
I'll ever be this strong again
And I need to say these things
And go before I lose the strength
She said
Who am I to play dead
Lay my hand on your head
Sympathise and sigh
She
She knew me very well
I do not feel the things I say
All I feel is faint relief
That I'm alone
She's gone her way
She said
Love is all that you said
Clues from books that you read
Nothing from inside
She said
Who am I to play dead
Lay my hand on your head
Sympathise and sigh
She said
You have been so well fed
Hell was born in your bed
Hunger now and cry
She said
Love is all that you said
Clues from books that you read
Nothing from inside
She
