i want to know your plans
and how involved in them i am
when i go to sleep for good
will i be forgiven
and if you want roses
you can go buy a bouquet
if that just won't cut it
well, what can i say

you're what keeps me believing
the world's not long dead
strength in my bones
put the words in my head
when they pour out to paper
it's all for you
cuz that's what you do

i want to know your fear
from your feet
to the back of your ear
when they raise the landing gear
will your heart stay here
if you could forgive me
for being so brash
well you could hit me or whip me
i'd savour each lash

you're what keeps me believing
the world's not long dead
strength in my bones
put the words in my head
when they pour out to paper
it's all for you
cuz that's what you do

no more fighting
this is only a waste of our time
cuz soon we'll be leaving
will this strength still be mine
i'll look out for you
until i die
until i rot
i'll remember you
until i die
until i rot

you're what keeps me believing
the world's not long dead,
strength in my bones
put the words in my head
when they pour out to paper
it's all for you
cuz that's what you do
