I can't give you anything

Anything at all

Bless your head hold your hand

Hide the salt behind the wall



I'd lie for you I'd cry for you

I'd open every wound for you

I'd give you light I'd give you sight

I'd give it from myself



If I could give you alleluias from my soul I would

But the only thing I offer you is pain



I can't give you anything

Nothing that would stay

It's much too late to reinvent

The storybook lies anyway



I'd break the spell I'd make you well

I'd bleed the heavens dry for you

I'd give you light I'd give you sight

I'd give it from myself



If I could give you alleluias from my soul I would

But the only thing I offer you is pain

If I could give you alleluias then you know I would

So much in vain



Bring on the other world with its dances

Bring on the other world



I'd lie for you I'd die for you

I'd open every wound for you

I'd give you light I'd give you sight

I'd give it without pain



If I could give you alleluias from my soul I would

But the only thing I offer you is pain

If I could give you alleluias then you know I would

So much in vain
