Hold me before I die
Before I run too far away, before I run
Take me like this, before I change
Arm in arm on my lap, nothing deceives you

If the night hunts us and this dance ends
Only the knife we used to love each other will remain
If the night hunts us and this dance ends
Only the knife we used to love each other will remain

Nothing remains for me, nothing remains for you
Except the knife, that old hag that killed us here yesterday
Nothing remains for me, nothing remains for you
Except the knife, that old hag that killed us here yesterday

Sorry if I didn't hold you
When you were falling
If I told you what's going on here
You would start to run away

I'm feeling short of breath
When you're not here
Wandering around the city
I'm feeling like a living dead

I was a bandit and I know that
I was running away from commitment
Kissing saints at the altar
I don't care about the gossip

I saw the knife shimmering
And I shouted "calm down, before that
I have a love to declare
And things to declare to the tax office"

It's written on the papyrus, God doesn't let me lie
I was feeling like a vampire until I was bitten by you
And when I'm already talking to myself at the end of the road
Keep the best of me

Nothing remains for me, nothing remains for you
Except the knife, that old hag that killed us here yesterday
Nothing remains for me, nothing remains for you
Except the knife, that old hag that killed us here yesterday

Before I die
