[Verse 1]
I'd rather be deaf
I'm never gonna hear your laughter anyway
I'd rather be numb
I'm never gonna feel you touching me anyway
You're the one that went away
But I'm gone as well
You've taken me with you
You died - and I will never be alive again
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna be, I'm never gonna be
I'm never gonna be alive again
I'm never gonna be, I'm never gonna be
I'm never gonna be alive again
[Post-Chorus]
You remain as a shade on my heart
Yes you remain as a shade
[Verse 2]
I'd rather be a stone:
Standing still, enduring everything
I'd rather be water
So I could rinse away the pain
I'd rather be fire
So I could burn every memory of you
I'd rather be wind
Cause he's dancing with you
It's the wind that has taken you away from me
It's the wind that has taken you away from me
[Chorus] (x2)
I'm never gonna be, I'm never gonna be
I'm never gonna be alive again
I'm never gonna be, I'm never gonna be
I'm never gonna be alive again
[Post-Chorus]
You remain as a shade on my heart
Yes you remain as a shade
