If you were a baby I would take you and run
  I could hide you in the folds of my heart
  There's a truth in the madness that I can't get beyond
  And a fever that won't leave me alone
  I don't want my heart
  Don't want my head
  Don't want my friends
  Don't want my bed
  I can't live with myself
  I can't live with myself
  Can't take no help
  I try to want to
  But I can't get beyond you
  
  I will stare from the window
  At the shapes in the rain
  As the space between us drives me insane
  
  I can't live with myself
  I can't live with myself
  Can't take no help
  Don't want no one else
  
  If I was a child
  I would refuse to leave
  I would sit down on the street
  Kick my legs and scream
  
  I'm not much of a man
  But I know how I am
  I know this won't fade away
  I will pretend and be strong
  But I wonder where I belong
  
  And the feeling comes in waves
  A hole in my body, aching
  Like a heart dying
  A soul crying
  Exhausted and insecure
  Took all you have and I still want more
  So I reach out to hold you
  But all I do is hurt you
  Hurt you
  
  I can't live with myself
  I can't live with myself
  Can't take no help
  I try to want to
  But I can't get beyond you
  
  If I was a child I would take you and run
  And I say I don't know... But I know
  And I say I'll go
  
  You just spent the whole day
  Driving away
