Beyond You Lyrics

(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
