darling i ve been trembling from your love all this time even when the ashes have faded it ll be on my mind i m not praying for a miracle to get me by there s nothing more cruel when the words are baited like a victimless crime am i growing up too fast or did i have it easy all this time was i paying the cost being cast in a role with no reprise when all my fear surrounds me come on cut through the bone so i can see the weariness i live in from trying way too hard to make believe darling i ve been trembling from your love all this time even when the ashes have faded it ll be on my mind i m not praying for a miracle to get me by there s nothing more cruel when the words are baited like a victimless crime when cowardice is medicine have we been wired to feed off jealousy addicted to the turbulence darling i ve been trembling from your love all this time even when the ashes have faded it ll be on my mind i m not praying for a miracle to get me by there s nothing more cruel when the words are baited like a victimless crime so this is what we do to the ones we love was it better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission passion is poison and success will take a man where his character cannot sustain him if true love takes true independence then there is no method to this madness blind faith and childish reason when the body cries the spirit listens nightmares and nosebleeds you re the actor and the audience blow by blow frame by frame silence begets silence
