I watched you float away on a wave of want and misery
now I´ve got to find you
I watched you float away on whatever caught your eye
now I´ve got to find you
´cause I´ve got to keep your head above the water
while the current pulls me under

I will hang my life in the space between the noose and your neck
I won´t let you die just yet

I will love you even when you won´t let me
and you will kill me by doing nothing
but I know it´s not you, my dear,
I know it´s not you
I know it´s not you, my dear,
it´s the nothing that kills

I can´t save you
control is something out of mine
no, I can´t save you
control is something out of my control

I will love you even when you won´t let me
and you will kill me by doing nothing
but I know it´s not you, my dear,
I know it´s not you
I know it´s not you, my dear,
it´s the nothing that kills

I can´t save you but I will love you
no, I can´t save you but I will love you
I´d like to think that this is love
lost in second chances without end
this is romance
