it was the fear of god that led me to you
and it´s the fear of you that takes getting used to
i´ve never been one to hang my heart on a thread
but you spun me around and you loved me instead

i know i could turn to something other than you
´cause i don´t understand you and why you´re after me
i´ve never been the saint you wanted me to turn to
and i can´t see the view from the eyes you look at me through, oh no

but i´m alright, i´m alright, i´m alright, i´m alright
i´m alright, i´m alright, i´m alright

so cut below the surface and try hard not to notice
that i could be so foolish thinkin´ i´m alright
i´ve got no one to hold me, i´ve got no one to carry
everything inside of me that i won´t let you see
