I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings

To be quiet around you
There is so much goin´ on
You could easily
Wake up with a stranger
It´s not somethin´ else you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king´s horses
Not all the king´s men
Could put it back together
You said you wouldn´t do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess
She´s the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
Who other people will do

To get, this
(High)
It´s not somethin´ else you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king´s horses
Not all the king´s men
Could put it back together
And now alone in my room as it all begins again
(As it all begins again)
Was I so wrong, why am I always so intense?
(Always so intense)
In this same place I sit, the same place as before
Oh I came all the way here just to
Watch you walk out that door
I didn´t ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said as the truth
And the truth only

Well it´s not enough that you depend on me
And it´s not enough that you say you love me
It´s not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn´t a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things is to bring you back alive
Ooh maybe I fought this long and this hard just to
Make sure you survive, Oh
Just to make sure you survive
