See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side

I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait for you

And I can't live

With or without you

With or without you

With or without you

Through the storm, we reach the shore

You gave it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live with or without you

With or without you

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised

She got me with nothing to win

And nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give, and you give

And I can't live

With or without you

With or without you

With or without you
