Lyrics for When I'm Down
What say you now The door is opening on your vigil Now I'm in my usual way I save my breath, knowing what you're You're wanting me to say I only love you when I'm down You say that midnight Opens its arms to me Leaving you alone, then I fly so far away Until the light blurs my vision And I have nowhere to roam I only love you when I'm down And I only love you when I'm down And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know That I'm down all the time All the time Well, I know you're reaching out And you need to feel my hand You want to be understood Yeah, well, I understand I know you hold Precious little hope for me And in your happiness I'm always drowning in my grief And I only love you when I'm down, oh-oh And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know That I'm down all the time All the time All the time All the time
