I was once your lover
Then you became something else
Oh my God, I thought I knew you well
You handed me a long blade
And on that blade I fell
Found myself crying to you for help

And you said, "Don′t move, don't move"
And I said, "I won′t move, won't move a muscle"

You had me climb a ladder
Down to the center of the earth
You said, "Bring everything that you feel's of worth"
And then you piled it up beside me and broke into a smile
Watching me watching it catching fire

And you said, "Don′t move, don′t move"
And I said, "Oh, I won't move, won′t move a muscle"

All I've ever done is run away
Ever since that night I cursed your name
Now I see all my running was done in vain

I looked at all the embers
And an emptiness arose
You said, "Stand there in the center of the coals"
And my feet began to burn
Upon all the things that I′d once owned
And I remember begging you to let me go

And you said, "Don't move, don′t move"
And I said, "I won't move, won't move a muscle"
Oh, you said, "Don′t move, don′t move"
And I said, "Oh, I won't move, won′t move a muscle"
