Pick up your life as I pass by, canât you see Iâm cold inside.
We were poor but we had something,
What wasnât poor was poisoned by your fear,
You wanted more, I gave you nothing,
I may be blindâ¦
Each town, each town it seems the same my dear,
Itâs loud tonight, your heart is ringing in my ear.
Walk out the door across the street, donât you know itâs cold outside,
Pick up the phone my signalâs weak, canât you see Iâm cold inside.
I think you know,
We were poor but we had something,
What wasnât torn was poisoned by your fear,
You wanted more, I gave you nothing,
I may be blind for I never saw your tears.
I think you know,
We were poor but we had something,
What wasnât torn was poisoned by your fear,
You wanted more, I gave you nothing,
I may be blind for I never saw your tears,
As days pass by the gap it now appears,
When I come home please say that youâll be thereâ¦
