Sting & Police - The Lazarus Heart lyrics

I've been keeping my mouth closed too long and opening my chest just a little bit too wide

So you can see my heart as it starts to beat down everything that I'm trying to keep inside

I'm about to explode and I want you to know its getting hard to hide

And I've been keeping you close even though that I know it may not feel that way tonight

And I'm sorry if you are just a little confused I only wanted to do what was right

But right now I miss how you always felt so right to me

Memories are always haunting me to sleep tonight I pray my soul to keep you by my side

So when you open your eyes you'll close in on mine

And I've been thinking it out and I've been thinking about the things you do to get to me

To tell you the truth I'd do them to you if I knew we worked equally

Reverse it and rehearse this so you'll never want to leave

Memories are always haunting me to sleep tonight I pray my soul to keep you by my side

So when you open your eyes you'll close in on mine

And when I see that look on your face- I know we'll be ok

And when I see that look in your eyes- I know we'll be alright

'Cause you and me got what we need tonight

I must admit I wanted this I needed it more than you did

I must confess I've tried my best but nothing makes me miss you less

Memories are always haunting me to sleep tonight I only want to keep you by my side

So when you open your eyes you'll close in on mine

And when I see that look on your face- I know we'll be ok

And when I see that look in your eyes- I know we'll be alright

'Cause you and me got what we need tonight
