There is something in the air
It's like a chill that's barely there
'Til it cuts you to the bone
Unprepared and unaware

Fear, like a gun in your hand

There's no need to be unkind
Put it down or shoot it blind
I'm a hostage to your dread
Of being used and left behind

I'd wait with my mouth full of sand

Find me the words
Why should it hurt to say that
You don't know how much you mean to me
You don't know how much you mean to me
Go ahead and claim your victory

Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can't let you go

Because I know I bruised you
Every time I couldn't feel you
I destroyed your hiding place
Just because I wished to bind your heart to my heart
For all time (And all I asked from you)
Find me a way (To make it really matter)
How can you say (You are so beautiful)
You don't know how much you mean to me (To me)
You don't know how much you mean to me (To me)
Go ahead and claim your victory (To me, to me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I brought down your walls
And made them crumble
But it was all for love
Your hunger grows, and when you stumble
(I know that) It won't be enough

So if I'm damned and unforgiven
Oh, I will bite my tongue
And wait as long as you believe in redemption
For my kind

You don't know how much you mean to me (To me, to me)
You don't know how much you mean to me (To me, to me)
Go ahead and claim your victory (This battle has been won)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can't let you go
