Sting
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Please sit down, just talk to me
2
We'll see if we can talk this through
3
I've tried so hard to understand it
4
Just tell me something that's close to the truth
5
I'd rather you were cruel than kind
6
Is all that I'm demanding
7
I've given up on peace of mind
8
For the open wound of understanding
9
You can't be here and someplace else
10
If your mind is in that other place
11
You're trying to convince yourself
12
But you're lying in my face
13
I've listened 'til my head would spin
14
I don't want half of anything
15
The sand sits in the hourglass
16
Time slips through our fingers fast
17
Your counterfeits deceived me
18
If you can't love me this way
19
Then you must leave me
20
Tell me how it came to this
21
Just don't think to spare me this
22
Perhaps the truth can set us free
23
From the half truths ensnaring you and me
24
This black hole of intensity
25
Collapses on its density
26
And sucks me to a darker place
27
That hides behind a broken face
28
Keep up appearances as they say
29
And all those reasons you might stay
30
Ring hollow in my mind today
31
I've listened 'til my head would spin
32
I don't want half of anything
33
I don't want half of anything
34
The fields are sown with seeds of doubt
35
The wine is warm, you spit it out
36
This drinking won't relieve me
37
If you can't love me this way
38
If you can't love me this way
39
If you can't love me this way
40
Then you must leave me
41
The patterns in the distant stars
42
Our fates upon a loom
43
The changes in the temperature
44
When you walked into a room
45
The smell of your perfume
46
The taste of your skin
47
All those bitter reminders
48
Of the failed state I'm in
49
How do I breathe now, how do I inhale?
50
I'm a diver on the seabed, my oxygen's failed
51
How do I wake up, how do I sleep?
52
How do I laugh now, I can't even weep?
53
Where do I run to, where do I hide?
54
An insect preserved in formaldehyde
55
Yesterday's paper, its pages curled
56
How can I live in this broken world?
57
Keep up appearances as they say
58
But all those reasons you might stay
59
Ring hollow in my mind today
60
I've listened 'til my head would spin
61
I don't want half of anything
62
I don't want half of anything
63
The sand, it falls in the hour glass
64
And time slips through our fingers fast
65
And nothing that you say relieves me
66
If you can't love me this way
67
If you can't love me this way
68
If you can't love me this way
69
Then you must leave me
