I know that nothing comes for free
But I laid eyes on your beauty
I know that nothing comes for free
But I don’t know, what I need
But I hope, I do know
I cannot hope
It’s so strong
I can’t hold
I can’t hold on
Give what I want
Give what I need
I’d rather kill myself
Than die from this disease
But if there’s still hope
Tell me please
I know that, I’m delighted when I bleed
I paint the stage with all my misery
The crowd loves to die along with me
But they go home, go to bed and sleep
But I’m not, for I can’t
I cannot stop
I know, I can’t go
I cannot go
Give what I want
Give what I need
I’d rather kill myself tonight than
Watch me stand with
Nothing else but me
But if there’s still hope
Tell me please
