Shiver

Shiver

I know you thought it was the end of all the torture,
And happiness would simply be within your reach.
And I really hope that someday you’ll find what you’re looking for,
‘Cause you deserve it more than anything.
My dear, I’m sorry that I could not be what you believed in,
And I’m really sorry that I made you disbelieve again,
But you need to stay away.
Pick yourself up and break these chains.

Shiver out your heart, numb the pain.
Your affection is no good to me.
Shiver out your heart, once again.
There’s nothing you can do for me.
It’s nothing worth fighting for,
So shiver out your heart.

There’s nothing there that scares me half as much as I could be.
I recognise it isn’t selfish, what you seem to feel.
The love you have, I promise you it will not go to waste.
Someday, the pain will all be worth it.
What do you see that makes you think I could be one with you?
We share the silence in which I fear we’ve been consumed.
And I want to lose it all,
But I am lost and I’m so cold.

Shiver out your heart, numb the pain.
Your affection is no good to me.
Shiver out your heart, once again.
There’s nothing you can do for me.
It’s nothing worth fighting for,
It’s nothing worth fighting for.
Shiver out your heart.

And you will probably never listen,
And you’ll always come back for the thrill.
God, how I wish that you would look beyond this cold abyss;
There’s something else out there, waiting to take you in.
Lift your eyes away,
There’s nothing I can say.

Shiver out your heart, numb the pain.
Your affection is no good to me.
Shiver out your heart, once again.
There’s nothing you can do for me.
It’s nothing worth fighting for,
It’s nothing worth fighting for,
It’s nothing worth fighting for.
Shiver out your heart.
