lyrics

Hold your head up high and be a friend of mine
And I’ll hold your hand a little further down the line
When I’m walking on a high wire

Walking on the faithless streets, feel an aching in your bones
Stepping on the cold hard concrete, feel it rising through your toes,
Feel like a stranger here, well I feel it too
There’s a sense of fear, well honey I’m with you

Oh you’ve been making my soul bleed
So many things around today but you’re really all that I need
Oh you’ve been making my soul bleed,
So sit down next to me and
Fill in my missing heartbeat

Looking at you now, well I must confess,
That it’s hard not to think of pleasures of the flesh
But I suppose that you could be forgiven too
For being part of this sorry mess
But we’ll start the ball rolling now,
Down the hill at a hundred miles an hour
It leaves people in its wake; a heart’s so easy to break,
I guess we never realised its power.

And I'll never think of you if I can be forgotten too.
I’d show you my naked heart, but first you’d have to tear me apart

Oh you’ve been making my soul bleed,
So many things around today but you’re really all that I need
Oh you’ve been making my soul bleed, sit down next to me
Fill in my missing heartbeat.
