What say you now?
The door is opening on your vigil
And i'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're
Wanting me to say
I only love you when i'm down
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and i fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision
And i have nowhere to roam
I only love you when i'm down
And i only love you when i'm down
º
And i'm only near you when i'm gone
º /
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time
, , , , /C , º
º
Well i know you're reaching out
And you need to feel my hand
You want to be understood, yeah well i understand
I know you hold precious little hope for me
And in your hapiness
I'm always drowning in my grief
And i only love you when i'm down
º º
And i'm only near you when i'm gone
º /
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time
