Darren Hayes / Stuart Brawley

Give me a taste of what's to come
Give me your medicine
Teach me a lesson maybe I deserve to know
Cut me down to size and paralyze me
With the contents of your pretty little head
And give me somewhere else to go
Give me one thing
Tell me something I don't really need to know
I am so afraid of breaking what we made
It is delicate and lovely
But it's a weight above me

And your words are like weapons
But you keep them inside and they cut like a knife
And you keep it together
All those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me
When I just want to listen to your words

I'd like to step into your world
Show me a secret
I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm
I want to cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
And treading water from your shore
I want to coax you from your hell
Into an alley
A hidden valley where the truth can surely spill
I want to take the weight that drags you to the ground
Share this treasure that I've found

But your words are like weapons
But you keep them inside and they cut like a knife
And you keep it together
All those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me
When I just want to listen

There's a lock someone's stolen the key
And took you away from me
Somewhere that no one can read you
I see a Bible
Yeah I see a Bible in your eyes
All those codes and hidden meanings
Full of metaphor and something for the faithless in me

But your words are like weapons
But you keep them inside and they cut like a knife
And you keep it together
All those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me
When I just want to listen to your words
