Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?

Where'd you come from? where am I going?

Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for
Expresses feeling discarded or useless until the person’s return.
Waiting for you

All my sins

I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you

All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

Every night these silhouettes appear above my head

I dream of michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
