Lifeless Songtext

von Stolen Babies

I can see the lifeless
I feel the darkness under you
I can see behind me

I can try to hide it
But without a will to see the truth
I can feel the heartbeat
Slowing into nothing

Why don't I go
When I know there's nothing I should want here?
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing I should say?

As I stand behind you
Lost in all the things that I would do
Never really with you
Quietly, halfway in the room

Do you see behind you?
(Do you see behind you?)

Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing I should want here?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing you can see?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing I should say?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing for me here?

(Soulful backing vocal melody)

How I see you
Now is all wrong
With my hands full
And its all wrong

And I shouldn't have looked
Cause now I can't look away
And…

Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing I should want here?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing you can see?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing I should say?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing for me here?

(More backing melody singing)

Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing I should say?
Why don't I go?
Tell Me
Why do I stay
When I know there's nothing for me here?
