[verse]
Silent and dead I
Tried to keep myself alive
You lay in the grass and I
Closed my eyes to sleep
[preChorus]
I told you
That I must go
If you hold me
Then I would stop
[Chorus]
And if I stayed
I could not go on
Just let me leave
I cannot go on
[verse]
Under the trees I
Try to keep the stride
Of the giants in sight
And you called me to sleep
[preChorus]
I told you
That I must go
If you hold me
Then I would stop
[Chorus]
And if I stayed
I could not go on
Just let me leave
I cannot go on
[bridge]
I told you
If you hold me
That I must go
Then I would stop
[Chorus]
And if I stayed
I could not go on
Just let me leave
I cannot go on
[postChorus]
I told you
That I must go
If you hold me
Then I would stop
(under water
You must go on
Under fire
Keep going)
