When everything starts to fall apart You kiss my tears, help me number the stars; We’re cold and dispassionate, marble and stone You wanted to feel something; now we’re all alone When there’s no other reason to keep holding on, Something about you gives me focus I find a sort of sweet surrender in A love so bitter, a hate so tender Such beautiful hands-- made for music, they said, Will they still say that when you at last strike me dead? It’s not that I can’t see who you are, but Something about you gives me focus Reality, formality, or just some sick mentality In sickness and in health, in strength and in mortality, An addiction to anger, a rage that ebbs away How many more cheap thrills for the price of today? Go on and do it, (I’m sure I’m sure, ‘cause) Something about you gives me focus Because feeling something Is better than feeling nothing at all
