I have lived a lonely time
Of pleasing you or die,
Washed away my coloured thoughts,
And chewed the smile from me,
Refrain 1
My heart big and warm
My thought brushed aside
Still he turns the knife in my side
Refrain 2
My heart big and strong
My soul lost and torn
Still I'll stand here with pride
You still don't accept me,
Thus pleasing you till dawn,
Obstacles before me,
So I could never fly,
Refrain 1
Bled away my strength
So that I would break
But I know I'll run and hide
I won't run and hide
I won't run and hide
Your guilt is not enough, enough
I won't run and hide
Refrain 1 & 2 x 2
Last line of refrain: Still I stand by your side!
