  • Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control

    You think it's easier
    To put your finger on the trouble
    When the trouble is you
    And you think it's easier
    To know your own tricks
    Well, it's the hardest thing you'll ever do

    I have a will for survival
    So you can hurt me
    And then hurt me some more
    I can live with denial
    But you're not my troubles anymore

    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control

    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control

    You think it's easier
    To give up on the trouble
    If the trouble is destroying you
    And you think it's easier
    But before you throw me a rope
    It was the one thing I could hold on to

    I have a will for survival
    So you can hurt me
    And then hurt me some more
    I can live with denial
    But you're not my troubles anymore

    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control

    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control

    God knows it's not easy
    Taking on the shape of someone else's pain
    God now you can see me
    I'm naked and I'm not afraid
    My body's sacred and I'm not ashamed

    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control

    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Somebody stepped inside your soul
    Little by little they robbed and stole
    Till someone else was in control Writer/s: ADAM CLAYTON, DAVE EVANS, LARRY MULLEN, PAUL DAVID HEWSON
