Verse 1 

         All that you think                
         And all that you see 
         All those things so dark here          
         Are my reality 
         I am your king and 
         I am your friend 
         I am your lover 
         Until the bitter end 

Verse 2 

        I existed 
        I floated out to sea 
        Cast out on the emptiness 
        For all eternity 
        Sailing on the waves 
        Blackened before me 
        Doomed to float alone 
        On this endless sea 

Chorus 

        I would never hurt you 
        I am your best friend 
        I would never lie to you 
        I'm here to the end 
        I would never steal from you 
        I won't do that again 
        I just want to love you 
        Can't we still be friends 

        Trust me  
        Can't we still be friends 
        Look at my tears 
        Can't we try again 
        Don't I look sincere 
        I want to try again 
        I would never lie to you 
        I'm here to the end 

        If you just love me 
        I'm here to the end 
        I'll take care of you 
        Until the bitter end 
        Don't believe in what you hear 
        From bible toting men 
        He was all made up and he 
        Won't come again 

        Would I lie to you.
