You Can Live Without Him
Oh, and you better run 'cause His love is catching you And you're scared that when it does its gonna break through You build your house of dreams behind a wall That no one could penetrate And you leave yourself no escape No chance to be made new Oh, and you better stand with your fist clenched to the sky 'Cause open handed you're afraid of what you may find You've got it all or so you want to think But anyway you'd much rather pretend It's too much to run the risk When you can simply close your eyes CHORUS: And you can live without Him You can live without Him if you want You can turn your back on music Turn your back on love Tuck your tail and run 'Cause you're good at looking down, never seeing a thing You're good at being touched and never feeling You're good at sitting in the midst of a music that's never heard But you're not as good at living as you thought you were SongtexteBut you can live (You can live without Him) If that's what living is (You can live without Him) Death would be such a gift Oh Lord, let me die that I might find my life in You You can live without Him You can live without Him if you want But that is so much less Than any life that I could ever choose Oh, and you better fill the empty spaces with some noise 'Cause if you look too squarely at the facts You might have to make a choice You'd better put off 'til tomorrow Maybe then you'll be more in control Somehow tonight this feeling Stole into you and left you soiled Oh, and you throw it off before you see beyond the day There may very well be more But not right now, don't let it in And if you don't let it root You'll never have to let it make you grow It's more life than you want to know So shut it down again CHORUS 'Cause you're good at looking down, never seeing a thing You're good at being touched and never feeling You're good at sitting in the midst of a music that's never heard But you're not as good at living as you thought you were But you can live (You can live without Him) If that's what living is (You can live without Him) Death would be such a gift Oh Lord let me die That I might find my life in You You can live without Him You can live without Him if you want But that is so much less than any life I could ever choose Aus Songtexte Mania
