I took your counsel and came to ruin Leave me to myself, leave me to myself I took your counsel and came to ruin Leave me to myself, leave me to myself Oh, I was made to live without you But I'm never gonna understand, never understand Oh, I was born to live without you But I'm never gonna understand, never understand Hold me In your everlasting arms Looked up, full of fear Trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down I thought it over and drew the curtain Leave me to my cell, leave me to my cell I hummed the dies irae as you played the hallelujah Leave me to my cell, don't leave me in my cell If you'd been made to serve a master You'd be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand Could I be made to serve a master? Well, I'm never gonna understand, never understand Hold me In your everlasting arms Looked up, full of fear I was trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down Hold me In your everlasting arms Looked up, full of fear I was trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down Hold me In your everlasting arms
