Album: Afraid of Sunlight

Beyond You

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
If you were a baby I would take you and run
I could hide you in the folds of my heart
There's a truth in the madness that I can't get beyond
And a fever that won't leave me alone
I don't want my heart
Don't want my head
Don't want my friends
Don't want my bed
I can't live with myself
I can't live with myself
Can't take no help
I try to want you
But I can't get beyond you
I will stare from the window
At the shapes in the rain
As the space between us drives me insane
I can't live with myself
I can't live with myself
Can't take no help
I want no one else
If I was a child
I would reuse to leave
I would sit down on the street
Kick my legs and scream
I'm not much of a man but I know how I am
I know this won't fade away
I will pretend and be strong
But I wonder where I belong
And the feeling comes in waves
A hole in my body.. aching
Like a heart dying
A soul crying
Exhausted and insecure
Took all you have and I still want more
And I reach out to hold you,
But all I do is hurt you,
Hurt you
I can't live with myself
I can't live with myself
Can't take no help
I try to want to
But I can't get beyond you
If I was a child
I would take you and run
And I say I don't know...
But I know
And I say I'll go, but I don't let go
You just spent the whole day
Driving away
