Here my child 
Rest your head on me. 
Cos I'm the safest man you'll ever meet. 
I'll tell you a story 
I won't expect you to believe 
About a boy who lost his reason to deceive 

It's the death of my desire 

While I grew up I hid behind a smile. 
I was never allowed to be an average child. 
And now the years have forced 
me to be a man. I find I can't go 
Along with this meaningless sham. 

It's the death of my desire. 

I want to find a new way 
But I can't make it on my own, 
I want a partner in crime 
So I don't feel so alone. 

So come to bed, 
I won't disturb your sleep. 
Cos I've a secret I'm determined not to keep 
I see you understand my point of view, 
You're safe because there's nothing I 
need from you. 

It's the death of my desire.
