AS LONG AS YOU HOLD ME

As long as you hold me I'll get by
As long as you need me I will try
Not to die

I don't want the shame
I don't want the blame
I don't want the fame, anymore

If only they'd tell me, tell me why
If I could believe them and their lies

But I don't want their name
I don't want their pain
I won't play their games, anymore

I always look at the last page of the book
How will it end ? The suspense robs me
Of lovers and friends

I don't want the shame
I don't want the blame
I don't want the fame, anymore
