Please, your sympathy’s not what I crave   Nor judgement on how I behave   Or to wake up beside you today   Try as I do to let somebody in   Well I never know where to begin   It’s just a sweet word and onto the next thing      But whenever I hear your name   A mist comes down over my eyes   The burden of hiding my shame    It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies   And what can I say, if confession won’t send them away?   These demons inside are refusing to die   I hope against hope but they stay      And I’ll disprove all that you’ve heard   The shortcomings of all their long words   Chattering of little birds    Now hormonal suppression kicks in   And I’m lost in the scent of your skin   And it hits like a left to the chin      But whenever truth starts to ring   A mist comes down over my eyes   The pain and the guilt that it brings   Loses faith in its host and then dies, then it dies      But whenever I hear your name   A mist comes down over my eyes   The burden of hiding my shame    It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies   And what can I say, if confession won’t send them away?   These demons inside are refusing to die   I hope against hope but they stay
