[Verse 1]
Everybody tells me it's a shame
That I love in vain
And everybody tells me that they're there
To hold, to love, to share

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't help it
I know this one ends badly
How can I tear my skin?

[Chorus]
O the flood I'll cry
The day that I give in

[Verse 2]
Every time I see you I go weak
It's a losing streak
Every time I see you there's a spark
That lights the dark

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't want me
You think I'm something tainted
Like I'm some mortal sin
[Chorus]
O the flood I'll cry
The day that I give in

[Verse 3]
Every day I'm moving in a mist
My homemade bliss
And every day I'm floating on a tide
Of dreams and hope and pride

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't hold on
When the dream must end
I know the darkness begins

[Chorus]
O the flood I'll cry
The day that I give in

[Outro]
Everybody tells me it's a shame
That I love in vain
