  • Anguish and misery fall here like a dead star
    And everything you ever said
    Now tears me all apart

    He goes down, down to his bitter end
    He knows now, now it's the gutter
    He goes down, down to his bitter end
    He knows now, now you can't touch him

    Pray for the rain
    Oh, are you up there
    Do you listen
    It's the terror and the pain and I
    Just wait for you to have risen

    He goes down, down to his only friend
    He knows now, now that you love him
    He goes down, down to his bitter end
    He knows now, now you can't touch him

    I hold on to you like the death of an angel
    And I hold on to you with all the life that's in me

    Why was I not good enough to save you from destruction?
    And your end and my beginning
    Oh, they need no introduction

    He goes down, down to his only friend
    He knows now, now that you love him
    He goes down, down to his bitter end
    He knows now, now you can't touch him

    Sweet as honey
    I'll live forever

    Pure as first love
    Just come home

    I hold on to you like the death of angel
    And I hold on to you with all the life that's in me

    And I hold on to you like the death of an angel
    And I hold on to you with all the hope I have left

    And I hold on to you
    Watch the death of an angel
    And I hold on to you
    Until the light pours like honey Writer/s: NICK HARRISON, PAUL EPWORTH
